Question: Is it possible for a female glider to give birth to another baby while she currently has a joey in her pouch?
My female has had a joey in her pouch for almost 6 weeks now and just today while I was looking at her belly I noticed a pea size lump on the other side of her pouch. Is it possible that she had another joey?
P.S. My male was neutered a week ago.

Yes it is possible. Gliders can also hold joeys in stasis for up to a year. I neutered a male a few years ago and 6 months later mom dropped one in pouch again. I tease the vet about that all the time.

Oh wow! You learn something everyday. Looks like I might be expecting more joeys than I thought. Well I can't quite get enough of these little furballs so that might not be the worst thing in the world! I had previously read that they could keep fertilized eggs in stasis in an article. That is just amazing! Gliders never cease to surprise me lol Thanks for the reply!
