I posted months ago because I was not sure of the sex of my Maddie. I swear she has no pouch, but she has no bald spot either. Maddie is 8 months OOP. I thought if she was a he, the bald spot would have shown up by now. What's up? Still confused,

Peesh some people sell neutered males and say they are female. Could this have happened to you? If it is a she she has to have a pouch. Some males do not get a bald spot until they are a year or older. Have you ever seen a pensis stick out?

Hi, there! Do you see a small fuzzy "pom pom" thing that looks like an outie belly button? If you do, your glider is a male. The "outie" is actually testicles (marsupial have some odd anatomy). Even my neutered boys still have it (vet left the scrotum even though he removed the contents). Males usually do not develop the bald spot until they are 10months-1year old. The pouches on the females sometimes are tough to see until they are older or had joeys, too. If you are still unsure, take the little guy (or gal) to a vet that specializes in small animals (preferably one that has had experience with sugar gliders).
