Sneezing noises are usually a sign of annoyance. When my have mated, the usually become more agressive over a three day period. My males when out come it contact with their mate, will usually give a quick bark and a hiss. It sounds like he is really forcing the air from his lungs to breath. During the day and evening, strange sounds can be heard from their pouch. I liked to refer to it as scrapping noises, usually, quick, loader than a sneeze with a more grating sound.

Now if your glider is making sneezing noise when trying to have a bowel movement, I would thin that maybe constipation would be a problem.

Hope this helps....

: The sounds you are hearing are very classic of the sounds they make when the male wants to get some from the female. Even though he is young and can't perform, he will still try.. this should go on a couple of days then everything will be back to normal. The only thing i would wonder about is.. are you sure of their age? If you are don't worry.. if your not then maybe they are older than you were told. They will be okay..Have you started carrying them during the day in your shirt yet? If they are already using your tee to sleep in now would be a good time to start trying to take it from the cage and putting it on with them in the pocket..
