Can gliders sleep to much?
That's all Sassy seems to do. Yes I know they're noctornal but it 4:10am and i' ve been up sine about noon.
Yes, I don't get to much sleep and this is normal for me.
But, back to the question, I just had her about for about an hour or so. She climbed around and ran for a few on her extra wheel but when she's out all she seems to want to do is lay in my lap. I was sitting Indian style with my legs crossed and she would go there and just chill. Any ideas why?

Not sure why but I have a similar problem with Mia. Lately her wak up time is around 4 am! I tried waking her up around 1 yesterday and all she wanted to do was snuggle up under my hair. So weird. Sorry I really dont have an answer why. I'm starting to think it's because she dosnt sleep until 12/1 pm.

A change in behavior, especially inactivity, could mean that she's not feeling well. I would take her to the vet. Other things to look for are loss of appetite and becoming grouchy.

I completely agree with snusie usually if you think it is something to be concerned about it usually is. One other thing I am thinking about, since your up so late do you have the lights on that may confuse her and make her think it is daytime.

Swoop & Gidget did nothing but eat and sleep unless we pulled them out of their cube for the first 2 months that we had them. Now they are out and about in the wheel and playing around...

Lights can have something to do with it, and I would take her to the vet to be on the safe side, but it's possible that it's just her personality OR... Does she have another glider that lives with her? If not, then chances are she's depressed.

About 8 months ago I rescued and rehabilitated a year old boy. He came to me seriously neglected and malnourished. He'd been locked up for six months alone (not being taken out) in a small cage with only a ratty sleeping pouch, a water bottle, and a metal measuring cup that sat on the bottom of his cage for food. His cage and him stunk to high heaven.

For those first five months it was just him and me. It took a lot of work with him to overcome what he'd been through, but we did it. He's now the quirkiest, funniest, all-boy glider you've ever seen in your life. Alternating between a Rambo and little boy mentality.

My point is, that even though he eat incredibly well, was healthy and in a huge cage with plenty of toys and spending hours with me, I noticed he still slept alot, sometimes most of the night. I do believe now that this was a sign of depression because as soon as I rescued my two girls and brought them home, he perked up. And when it came time for them to all be together in the same cage, I could just see the change in him. Now he PLAYS and PLAYS most of the night with his two new friends and they all sleep together in the same pouch during the day. He's so much more animated now then he ever was before.

If these animals are alone, then they have very little to get up for. I recommend getting a cage mate or two or three or four... Colony activity keeps everyone involved.

It is instinctive for them to get away from light as well as danger so perhaps this is why she is looking for a hiding place.

I've only had her for a a few days, and the lady we got her from never really let her out to play. Could that be why?
We didn't have any lights on but the computer screen and tv are on, so tonight I'll turn those off and see what happens.

She very well could still be scared and just need some more time to adjust.

That's what I'm thinking. I'll be taken her and her new buddy to the vet as soon as we gt the other one, in about 2 weeks. I know i should take her sooner but the soonest is they can see her is like 2 weeks.

That's fine. Just remember that you need to keep her separate from the other glider for 30 days, and then follow up with another fecal at the end of that time to ensure they are still parasite free. Something might be dormant when you first take them in that wouldn't show up on a fecal, but then four weeks later be in full swing.

Just spend as much time with her as you can. It will soothe her and help you bond with her much quicker. Sooner she's bonded with you, the safer she will feel in her new home.

Thanks for all the advice.
