How do you know its singing and not something else? You dont- we're humans, we can only watch and assume things then go from that. How do you know all mother gliders do that? You dont, maybe only some of them do. This goes into the same category as that wild VS captive discussion we had. No one can know what a glider would say or feel inside. We are caring for them, we make their decisions for them with best interests in mind(most of us anyways).
See, for instance some people may have a trio going on- like a pair and they have a son, they decide to keep the son with the parents and form a little colony. Why would they not neuter that male(son) and let the father possibly kill it becuase the son tries to compete for breeding? If he did win there'd be inbred babies. In situations like this neuter is very important, this is my situation. TeresaS is right.
