Question
Its been like 3 days that Tiny wont play, eat, move as much, looks weak,and sad. And my four year old is noticing it. What can she give it to make it better and what is a good food source that would boost her up and going.

Answer
Ruby,

It sounds like you may have a serious problem.  In order to offer advice, I need to know all about your glider and its diet and living conditions.  Please write back and tell me about Tiny's age, history, diet, cage, and other details to help me understand her living conditions.

In the meantime, please give Tiny some additional protein and calcium.  Yogurt and eggs would be a good start.

I will look forward to hearing from you soon,

Betty
