: I recently got some gliders and though they are imports they are extremely handable. Will eat out of my hands without grabbing a finger to eat on. I think my females are pregnant due to the males being protective. The females all look fatter than before but none of them will come and let me pick them up to examine their undersides. Is there any other way I can tell?? I want some other animals and was going to trade gliders but don't want to disturb their cycle if they are pregnant. Can anyone help?

Are they in a wire cage? If so can you coax them to climb on the wire near you so that you can see their bellies? If so you may be able to determine that way if they have joeys in pouch.
