In Reply to: Are males a problem??? posted by Christin on May 20, 2000 at 22:03:52:

: I recently purchased a sugar glider, and the breeder said it was a female. I knew little about them at the time, but in my research, I've found my glider to, in fact, be a male. He's the sweetest thing(still young), and I have no problem with this, but I do have a few concerns. I'm wondering if the scent glands and the bald spot on his forehead pose problems with aesthetic value and/or bad smells. I'm also wondering about aggression and any other problems that might go along with having a male. Oh, one more thing...about what age DO they mature(get their bald spot, scent glands, marking, etc.)??? I have not been able to find this information from any source. I would appreciate any advice!!! Thank you very much!

A male should grow into a diamond shape mark on the forhead, and
I hope things will work out. With my own personal
experiences with the males, they are the same as
the females. They all take a lttle time to get to
know you and vice versa. Good Luck, email me if you
haven't gotten anymore help.
