My female glider always rubs the side of her body up against the furniture when she is out playing. I've never seen my male do this, so I was just wondering if its a female thing or if she's just a goof or what. Anyone else ever noticed this??

Your glider is just marking. Some females do it as much as males do. My Jenna Joy always takes and rubs her chest numerous times on my hand when I put it out for her to climb onto. She's my only female who does this...Actually my males don't do this to me either...So I guess it's kind of her individual oddity.

My female loves to do this too, though her favorite spots are my neck and down the sides of my legs when I'm sitting on the floor!

wow...y'all are lucky, juno usually just pees on me...she only does it on bare skin tho for some reason, and never large quantities, more like a dog spraying than anything else...only a drop, if that...

Thanks for your input guys. I just thought it odd because its the side of her body, not her head or chest area so I wasnt sure if it had anything to do with marking or not. Oh, Sean not to worry. Besides treats, peeing on me is the next favorite thing of my gliders. I always just say they scent the things they like.
