Both of my boys did this until I had them neutered.I haven't seen them do it since.
: : My male glider is approx. 3mos. old and tonight he started chewing on his genitalia, squealing and rolling around. When he
: : is distracted he stops for a few min. but then starts again. Is this because he has a problem or has he just discovered himself?
: Get your glider to a vet. Self mutilation is a serious
: problem with some gliders. Some gliders leave it out.
: This can cause it to dry up and they can not retract it.
: Keep KY jelly on it. You don't state where you are but
: try to find a vet who is familiar with exotics and sugar
: gliders.
