Something wierd is going on with 3 of my gliders, nothing is different apart from I soaked their cave in a weak bleach solution today, rinsed it really well, dried it and put it back in their viv .There was still the smell of bleach on it..  Ive only mentioned that as I have never seen them act this way before and other than they have all lost the plot its the only thing I can think of!!!  They are going crazy in the viv, and I realy mean crazy, throwing themselves at the glass (never done that b4) jumping all over the place and even Miah who never does anything is jumping around, she even jumped on the stealth and came flying off (she never goes on the wheel!)  Could it be the smell of bleach or just a crazy night....its scaring me to see them act so mad, if this carries on Im sure someone is going to get hurt!  My other 2 that I seperated Wednesday are fine.

Mine are quiet tonight, but they normally are when there's no moon.

Ive never ever seenhem act this way, it is really worrying me so I feel I need to stay up all night.  They are literally throwing themselves at the walls and falling down.

Thats the only thing I can think of, Ive never used bleach before and dont think I will ever again!!  Ive taken the cave out but the trouble is when something is washed in bleach the smell lingers.  Honestly its like they are on speed or something!

Bless them!  Mine have seemed to be a little aggressive towards one another over the past week or so, some in cages where I've never seen any aggression before!  They seem to have settled again now though thankfully!

I'll leave the cave in soak over night in some well diluted soapy water!!  They arn't being aggresive towards each other at all just throwing themselves all over the place.  Get this.....Pacha has never jumped on me in 2 years, when I opened the door to take the cave out he jumped straight on me!!  wierd...maybe bleach is the new bonding agent!!  They seem to be calming down a little now so I really think it was the bleach smell!!
