In Reply to: Bare spot on head posted by Pat on May 30, 1999 at 10:17:21:

: I recently bought a pair of gliders sight unseen and the male had a small bare spot on his forhead, the spot seems to be getting bigger it is clean and looks like all the hair has been licked off. It does'nt look like mange that I have seen in dogs and there are no other bare places. Has anyone had this problem? Thank you Pat

Pat,

Not to worry. Male Sugar Gliders are supposed to have that bald spot on their heads. If you look closely, you will find that there is also one on their chests. These are scent glands, and they use them for reproduction. They are nothing to worry about, so relax and enjoy your gliders.

Best of luck to you and your boys.
