This is normal.
Sometimes mine wake up, go potty, grab a veggie or drink and go back to bed. It's like raiding the refrigerator in the middle of the night for us, sometimes they just aren't ready to get up at their normal time. Mine will do this for days. Then all the sudden they are out early and waiting on me to serve their dinner. They need us to be on routine, but their's is apt to change.
Thanks so much for the info. right now they don't eat much so I only feed them once a day, but have their diet food and a few small pieces of fruits to munch on as well.
I totally agree with Dawn. Gliders will regulate themselves on a routine/schedule, but occasionally change it up. Also, I've noticed seasonal changes in my gliders routine/schedule, possibly due to daylight hour changes.
It also occurs to me that your joeys are still quite young. I had all my gliders as adults, so joeys may need extra sleep time. Just another thought.
And they're still new, so that could be a contributing factor.
Yes they are joey's, my friends that gave them to me said they were born on March 4th. So a bit over 8 weeks old
Hi Drum,
Are your gliders joeys? If so it will take them a little longer to get into a routine.
I see that you are in Wisconsin, I know this is short notice but next Saturday, May 13 from 10am until ???? I am hosting a toy making party at the Fire House in Oregon, Wisconsin.
It would be a great place for you to come and chat with other glider owners and we can show you how to trim their nails.
Gliders are welcome to come too.
Hello Feather nice to meet you! Yes they are 8 week old Joeys.
That's very awesome you are hosting a toy making party. I see that it's pretty close to madison. I live about 2 hours away from you, and don't drive and in a wheelchair, but I will let my friends know about this as well (they breed and own gliders) and maybe we can take a road trip there. I'll def let you know and thanks a bunch for the offer!
Funny you mention the toy making party, I just made a thread on advice on how to make homemade toys! [url=http://www.glidercentral.net/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/topics/1409554/Re_Making_Homemade_Puzzle_Them#Post1409554][/url]
