Hi everyone. I think at least one of my female gliders is w/ joey, possibly both might be. They are only fairly tame so its hard for me to get a good luck at the bellies and the one has always been alittle large. Bumble is the one I really expect, When she is sitting on a branch or on the side of the cage I have noticed what appears to be a bulge ( maybe two? ) that is moving around...would this be a sign of a joey inside? She is also overly calm, doesn't play as much, isn't running around like a mad woman like she used to, and is eating yogurt and anything with protein like crazy...outside of that she seems comfortable and healthy...does this sound like shes expecting? She had one female baby w/i the past 6 months that the previous owners kept. My other female Sassy also appears to have something small in her pouch, but she on the other hand is acting just as hyper as always with her running around and jumping, gliding out of the cage to run around me ( She wont really let me hold her but likes to sleep in a pocket or race around my back...so I cant really check her belly and I'd also be afraid of knocking any joeys loose from a nipple, but wont her activites do this also? Her eating seems about the same, when I got her I was told that she had two joeys in the pouch but lost them both... should I be concerned now?

Thank you so much for your help and advice, I'm really excited about the prospect of my babies having babies, but also nervous and trying not to get too excited incase something goes wrong.
Sincerely
Candi... Sassy, Bumble, & Max
