Hi all, having a problem with one of my gliders. Over the past few days he's been making the shhh-shhh noise they do when happy/pooing quite a lot. I didn't think anything of it at first however I've not actually seen him pass anything for the past few days, and a few times he's been straining with nothing coming out. I've felt his tummy and it's a little swollen and hard so I'm quite worried he may be very constipated.

Anyone have any experience of this and is there anything I can feed him to help soften it all up?

On a lighter note this morning the two of them were curled up into the smallest pouch in their cage. It's only meant to fit one and is really small but I woke up this morning to find a pair of tails poking out the top and the two of them squeezed in together - N'AWWWW!

I was going to suggest prune juice.  Do you give them acacia gum?  AG helps with problems like that.
