Subject: glider mom crabbing at babies still in pouch.. normal???
Posted by CandiMI on May 04, 1999 at 13:49:25:

Hi... both females in my trio are w/joey right now, although Bumble is further along and her joey/joeys ( hard to tell ) are about to come OOP...little arms and legs etc are out already... I came in today to hear awful crabbing in the cage, thinking that my females might be fighting I snatched the pouch off the cage wall and looking inside was suprised to find only Bumble, crabbing directly at the little body parts sticking out of her pouch! Is this normal... its the funniest thing to watch, the baby will move and she'll complain... so I settled her a bit with a few meal worms :)

please advise!

Thanks
Candi and the whole critter crew, especially bumble and her joeys!
