First. I do NOT believe that is a noise that says she is in distress or hurt. I believe it is a more natural noise.
My guess would be loneliness, and she is just keeping herself busy, entertained.
So I would suggest another glider or two. I have 6 and expect for the additional
cost of food, isnt much different then having 2. If my gliders are eating treats, sometimes they will try to steal another gliders food/treat, the upset glider makes a noise similar to that until the food issue is resolved.
Another great option is a vet visit just to be sure she doesnt have a health
issue. You could look on her/him bottom side, look for swelling or wetness anything that might look not normal. A great vet here in indiana with lots of
experience said if they have a problem you can usually see some problems on their
bottom side. I made him do a fecal test anyway, he was inexpensive like $40, and came back negative.
also, is her pouch new or old with strings getting in her nails?
If you pick her up does she stop? or will she make this noise while in your
hand?
