I have a sugar glider named Zeus and he is a boy and is neutered.
His other suggie friend is my sisters named Buzz.

We bought them together and they are near the same age.

Zeus is really adventurous, loves exploring, very nice and easy to get him to be comfortable to you.
At night, usually he likes to jump everywhere on me when I stick my hand in and try to get out.

When I wake him up to feed him, he usually goes straight to the nectar and drinks it for 10 minutes with his friend.
But today, I put it in and took him out to put him in front of the food and he rushed straight up to the top of his cage and sat there looking scared and frantic. Everytime Buzz moved, he would jump. His tail was also moving in S shapes for a while. I put my hand in and turned the light on and he held onto my hand and kept staring at random spots in his cage.

I put a new pouch in last night because it was cold in there as an alternative if they got too cold at night, and I think that was what the problem was but when i moved it around he didn't seem scared of it.

What's wrong with him? He is still acting frantic and rattling the cage loudly I don't know what's wrong.




Update : Ok i solved the solution but I'm leaving it up incase some glider owners are having the same issues.
My suggie was just constipated badly, so I ended up feeding him a baby food that has apples+cranberries+pumpkin and his poop came out. He is now acting energetic and acting himself again, no longer rattling! Thanks.

Glad your suggie is doing better! Pumpkin is a great regulator! It can help diarrhea And constipation. It is also a great treat! I gave a small organic pumpkinn ( seeds removed)to my Glider, Minnie on Halloween. She loved it so much she used it as her dining room for the night!



Aww! How cute :)
I also put in Cranberry Apple Juice which he loved and helped him with his poo.
Next Halloween I'm probably going to give Zeus pumpkin too haha
