Hard to know without understanding the situation. Why is the mom so agitated? Not sure how overgrooming would mess with his eye but I am less experienced then many here and hopefully they will help more.

I'm not sure either, but I'm no expert haha.

To me it sounds like the joey with they eye and momma need to be vet checked. Her to make sure she doesn't have mastitis and him to make sure the eye is ok.

The person is a vet tech (obvs not for exotic pets, I know) so hopefully she's all good. They're passing it off as something not to be concerned about, but I'm wondering if that's true or not. I want to buy healthy gliders as I'd be a first time owner, but don't want to overreact haha

I would be concerned about the Joey's eye. I would want to make sure he fully recovered from Mom's over grooming. I would also pass on the Joey until he 100% recovers from this and is given a clean bill of health by a vet. I would also be concerned that the Joey may continue to overvgroom himself in the future due to a neurological disorder. Just my thoughts. Being a first time owner, I would want the best for you.
