I have a mother and father with two babies. The father,Fagan,
is wanting to mate with Fallon constantly. He will not leave her
alone! yesterday during the day, the parents were out fighting
on a branch from him trying to mate. She fell to the ground
on her back. She is fine now. He is causing her great PAIN and
pressure. His genitalia is blood red. It is not bloody, but red.
It is normally white. He will pull it out and stretch it with
his teeth as if it is irritated. When they are in the nest, he will
grab onto her back with all four feet and hold her and bite. The
babies are holding onto her fromt trying to feed. The babies
were forced to leave the nest yesterday. I think she is
getting stressed from the babies and father.I took the babies
out during the day to releave her stress. When I put the babies back in the nest
last night, the fighting did not stop. When the mother
is with all of them, she pushes the babies away.And she
tries to get away from The father.The babies are 4 weeks oop.
They have been out of the nest left alone yelling for mom with
no response. So last night, i sepated mom and dad.The babies
were with mom all night doing just fine. She nursed them fine.
But when I put them in the cage with dad today, ALL day long
they were out and he weas trying to mate.She again gets stressed
and leaves the babies. She acts like she is in pain when he mates.
He acts like he is in pain from his genitalia too. It is still
red tonight.
Could he have an enfection with his genitalia? Is the mother
getting stressed and how can I help her? Are the babies
in any danger?
I contacted the vet today. I can bring him in Monday.The vet
specializes with exotics but has never seen a glider before.
Please help me asap. I am so scared something is wrong.
I know something is wrong. this is not their normal behavior.
No change in foods or anything.
