I was wondering weather the pouch of a sugar glider changes after having babies? My problem is that I have two sugar gliders, from two different breeders. The one sugar glider (Mala) was quite obviously a baby when I got her, but the second one (Luna) was supposed to be even younger but twice the size with much thicker fur. Luna's pouch seems to be much larger than mala's tiny little one. I was wondering if any experienced glider folks could help me out with what the pouch of a young,unbred, female should be like... thanks!

I have one unbred female and one bred female. On the unbred female, if you'll look where the bellybutton should be, you'll see a little slit. With my bred female, her pouch-opening is a little looser, like it didn't shrink back all the way after her kiddo.
