: 2. My male glider is only a few months old and I've seen his genitalia sticking out of a few different occations. Is this normal.
Yes it is normal and you may also see him become fasinated by it, playing with it and one lady even said that her glider looked like it was flossing his teeth with his.
I've also noticed that he is acting differently toward both my female and me. He's now more affectionateto me (I'm not complaining one bit) and occationally more aggressive toward her (especially during dinner time). Is this common when a male is going through "puberty?"
I don't know about common but it isn't unusual behavior either.
: 3. People say that they take their gliders with them everywhere they go. I'm concerned with the weather. If it's cold outside, I'm affraid to take them with me if fear that they'll get sick. Is it OK to take them with you or is it better just to bring them with you when the temperature outside is in the 70s?
As long as you are aware of their needs and they do not get chill you can take them with you anywhere. I just warm the car first before taking them out to it and I make sure that I am not outside long so that they do not get a chance to get chill, and when we are outside they are in a pouch that is generally kept inside my clothes.
