: Well they seem to be back to the loving couple now that this mating thing is over.
: Juliet slept most of the night. There was quite a bit of food left over this morning so I would assume she didn't eat much either.

: Has anyone noticed any of these behavior differences with their breeding gliders?

: Fighting
: extra sleeping
: etc....

: Yeah, although mine havent had babies yet, I can tell when they've been busy -- they've eaten very little, they stay in their pouch all night, and they are louder than normal. I discovered this on accident early last year when I got worried about them not eating, not wanting to play and squabbling extra loud/often. I pulled our their pouch, reached in for one animal and came out with two. He was attached and not very happy about being interrupted. Nowadays I just leave 'em alone when they act like that. I've also notice the young couple have started this no eat, no play, fuss loudly at each other ritual. Once again I blundered. I thought they were to young. Went for one and came out with two attached gliders. Beau was NOT happy, started shaking and bobbing his head back and forth. OOPS -- put 'em back and let 'em be. Next day everybody was cool
