Cat rub: Glider leans sideways and looks like a cat that rubs up against a tree or your leg. Can also look like it drags its hind leg for a second or so (as it does the behavior) then walks normal. Maybe a scenting or even possible affection. Have seen it done by a male along the side of the cage and have had it done to me by female against my leg.
CG: Classic Grey.
Chattering: To communicate, gliders will often make a chattering sound. It sounds like they are clicking their back teeth together.
Cino: Creamino.
Cloaca: The posterior opening that serves as the only such opening for the intestinal, reproductive and urinary tracts of certain animal species. The word is Latin in origin and means "sewer".
Coccidia: are microscopic, spoor-forming, single-celled parasites which infect the intestinal tracts of animals. The disease spreads from one animal to another by contact with infected feces or ingestion of infected tissue. Diarrhea, which may become bloody in severe cases, is the primary symptom. Other symptoms may include poor appetite, vomiting, dehydration and even death. Young or immune compromised animals tend to suffer more severe symptoms than healthy ones who may appear asymptomatic. With the exception of toxoplasmosis, most coccidian organisms are usually species specific.
C.O.I.: Coefficient of Inbreeding
Cream: Creamino
Crabbing: The noise a glider makes when they are frightened or startled. It is often described as sounding like an electric pencil sharpener.
C/S: Culture and Sensitivity
