You need to get him to the vet. I've heard of a glider not being
able to retract his peepee. By waiting you can cause your little
guy to get worse. For the chest thing. Try getting a cotton ball
and dipping it in warm water and rubbing the spot and his scent gland.
Or when you take him to the vet. Have the vet clean it. Either way take him
to the vet.

: I was out of town for 3 days and left my gliders in the care of my roommate. I just got home and I think something might be wrong with my male glider. On his chest where the male's scent gland is, he has a brown spot on his fur. I can't tell if its blood or a stain of some other sort. He won't let me look at it. Also, I think that my pair is mating and he might have something wrong in that department. Unlike before, his genitals are exposed and the tip seems to be dried out in some way. Has anyone seen or heard of something like this before? Please help. Thank you.
