:Griz and Lily have been making glider love for some time but lately Lily gets really pissy with him if he gets "too" familiar with her. Is it a sign that she's pregnant or just over her estress cycle? Is there really any way to tell if she's pregnant before she births joeys? I'd like to know for sure so that I can make any dietary that anyone could suggest for a mommy.

Diana-
It is recommended that if you have a female glider that you plan to breed you increase the amount of protien in her diet. Do you feed leadbeaters?
I have noticed an attitude change in my females in early pregnancy. Others say they have not. A sure way for me to tell is that the female will stay in her nest box (or pouch) more than she used to and she gets edgy with her mate.
Best of Luck.
