Behavior Help! Glider behaviour

Hi I'm new to having gliders. I have a pair of 2 young female gliders for a few weeks now and they have got along so perfectly sleeping and playing together and showing affection. They both came from the same breeder and are familiar with eachother. One even calls for the other one to come out and play. Their names are Sugar & Spice (Sugar is leucistic and Spice is light silver platinum) Spice is the dominant of the 2 and usually runs the show with Sugar often following her around. Sugar is definitely more "tame".

They both are in a massive cage with tons of space, glider safe toys, pouches and wheel. They are on BML diet. They are very physically healthy, active and vocal. However, the last 2 days I have noticed a significant sudden change in behaviour. Spice has been way more aggressive than her usually "spicy" self. She is being aggressive towards poor little Sugar and it hasnt seem to let up all night long. Its very concerning. There has been no injuries or physical attack as far as I have seen. I found that Sugar didnt even sleep with Spice last night and she seems stressed and scared which I dont blame her.. I hoped it was just horomones cuz Spice could be in heat but Im not sure because this is my first time having gliders. I heard the fighting again tonight and decided to remove Spice and put her in her own cage for time to cool off but now shes calling non stop for Sugar even though the cage are right next to eachother.

If someone can please tell me if this is normal, will their relationship go back to normal? and give some advice how do i stop it or does this mean they arent a good match? Im so lost right now am I even doing the right thing.

Also alot of the aggression happens around the wheel I think could it be like a resource gaurding thing?
