I am new to asking questions so anyone who could help me would be amazing. I have three gliders two females and one neutered male. Their names are meadow Lennon and Minnie. I first got meadow and she was very mean, it was obvious that she wasn't hand raised. I then got Lennon and Minnie months later they are both very sweet and very social. Meadow has been a completely different glider ever since I got them. She is very social with me and hardley crabs. I have had a friend who is a vet trim their nails for a while now. They hardley crab anymore because they have gotten used to it. Anyways I got a flower pouch from cozy flowers which they love so much and so do I ! However Minnie started crabbing and after a few nights I noticed her getting caught a little bit so I trimmed her nails that night. It went very smoothly actually just took a lot of time. So I thought that solved the problem. But she is still crabbing. She never has crabbed so much she is very shy but doesn't crab. I trimmed the other gliders nails as well and they were mad for a few hours then welcoming to me that night. Over the weekend I brought them to Vermont with me where there were some fireworks. She was crabbing quite a lot I assume from being so scared. Now we are back home and the crabbing has continued a little. She is in her castle and I am concerned about her. I am someone who worries and these little guys mean so much to me. Being a college student who's salary just got cut I do not have too much money so even though I know a vet she is not an exotic vet And I am not sure she's licensed to treat them. Bringing them to the vet is my last possible thing I want to do. But. I will if it means she'll feel better. My dad said maybe there are too many changes and I need to give it a week. I thought maybe she has become protective of her flower and scared of me. Either way it's breaking my heart and making me cry because I am so worried. If someone could please help me with suggestions I could use some. Thank you
