Sorry to hear about your little one I agree with the above. You'll want to coax her out of the walls so putting food inside or lights probably wouldn't help with that. Any luck thru the night finding her?

Lack of water would become a problem for her before food would. These ideas might sound really far-fetched, but they might trigger another thought. All mammals despise the smell of adult male human urine. That scent will drive them away (old exterminator trick for getting raccoons and night squirrels to go 'anywhere else but where you are'). It has to be male and it has to be adult, but no small mamal will remain near it. I have a cheap wi-fi camera that will send an e-mail or a text when motion is detected - it is instantaneous and even a flutter sets it off. I could see potiential for that being useful. That camera is also has night vision - the slightest amount of light in pitch black can be seen - she can't hide her eyes from it. I am thinking about an apple slice / hunk of avocado / favorite food with a bell dangling that, if touched, will fall and be heard. There are also humane mouse traps at any walmart - they walk in after a treat and their weight closes the door behind - then she'll scream for you. Won't work if there is no room to work with or if she is too large. Blacklights are good - a little 75 watt incandescent blacklight bulb could help you without driveing her away. Is she friendly to you. If so, your stinky socks might help her find her way. Once she starts to panic a bit, she'll use her nose. Did you say you can/can't hear her barking in the wall? If I told my dog (part hound) to tell me where my suggie was, she dang sure would. Think about any sound, smell, sight that she would recognize as safety and use it to your advantage. Also, do not panic if you see her - she'll sense it and things could get tough. Does she have a mate? As tough as it sounds, if he's making distress sounds, she'll show up. Consider zipping him up in a bag near the hole you want her out in.

My dear Crab is dead. I crawled into the nasty attic crawl space, covered in spiders, webs dust and heat. I found what appeared to be tracks on a pipe that lead to a hole where the pipe exited the house. I followed the pipe as it wrapped around the house and descended to the ground. I found her ant covered body under the orange tree. By the amount of decomp she was probably killed the morning she crawled through the hole in the wall. That explainss why I could not hear her in the walls. Every glider is speacial, but some require more attention than others. Crab would not eat bugs [censored] all the other ones loved so I had to boil her chicken and turkey. She would not eat her food unless it was seperated so the different fruit and veggies were stacked in seperate piles and the meat could not tough the side dishes. This isn't all in my head I'm serious...this was who Crab was. I kept ensure as aa base food, because I always knew she would drink that if her system was upset . After the cancer surgery her glider family did want her so she was alone in the cage and she hated that. That's why every morning I got up at 3:30am to let her out of the cage to run and be nearer other gliders. I had the room glider proof, but I knew it was always a risk, but my concerns were that another glider may bite her not that a stupid incompetant contractor would put a hole in the wall and the super taped up drywall would fail. If I could only go back in time. .........
