Are female glider born with there pouch or do they get it when they mature or when they have joeys? and males when are the really ready to mate when they get there scent glands on there head and cheast or at 8 motnhs thank you!

They come OOP with a pouch, although it may be hard to see at first. If they are born with one, I'm not sure. They are very underdeveloped when born, so I would believe the pouch develops on female gliders while they are still in their mother's pouch. For males, many can mate earlier than 8 months. My male mated and produced joeys at about 4 months, and he barely has a bald spot. Some develop the bald spot early, some late.

oh ok thank you!!

Females are born with their pouch . As for males I have heard it both ways. I had a 5 month old male (he just barely had his bald spot) in with a older female (1 1/2 yrs old) and he fathered 2 joeys and hasn't stopped since. *L* . But I also had a male that started to get his at about 12 WKS OOP . So I'm not toldly sure which would be true . I'm not sure if anyone really knows for sure .

alrigth well thanks for your answers everybody

oh yeah one more thing this may be stupid b/c i already know this but i may be wrong do male glider get there scent gland even if they are fixed???

Sometimes after they are fixed they can get or keep their bald spot, but usually they don't.
