I've noticed those behaviors in mine too when they mate.
I remember the first time mine mated. I had them seperated most of the day due to them fighting so much. All day I kept hearing them call to each other. The sound was kind of like a quieter, slightly difference version of a bark. One would make that sound, then the other one would make it. That went on all day. I decided to put them back together that night and they ended up mating.
The last time they mated I seperated them, wanting Cherie to have a break after 1 joey, then twins. When I put them
back together all they did was Jerry sat on Cherie's back
and nothing happened. Don't gliders mate until the female is pregged? Is it possible they had already mated before I seperated them? I don't think they did, but I will find out in 5 days.
Has anyone noticed that thier male just sits on the female and doesn't do anything? I've never had that happen till this last time.
