I was wondering this is probably stupid but I have been down with the flu and my gliders won't hardly let me touch them,they sniff me and run <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/nixweiss.gif" alt="" /> Do they know I am sick? or just avoiding me? I miss playing with them and hey I am up all night pretty much, would be great play time but no way they want me. Not even for a mealie, Which has NEVER happened. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tantrum.gif" alt="" />

my husband has been sick and GIzmo usually jumps right on him but avoided him like the plague....
Now I"M the one who's sick and he actually crabbed at me when i tried to reach for him (first time in forever)
so I think so!

i am not sure of this, but i have heard others say that gliders are very sensitive to sensing illnesses in their own kind and other animals, so may be true of people too. but its only what i heard, don't know this for fact. sure someone in this group knows about this subject, and will respond to you and give you some info on it. i hope you get better soon, sorry your feeling so bad. i just got over that darn ole flu, and it took me 3 weeks to feel better.
so do get well soon. smile
