1. One of my new gliders makes some noises that I haven't
heard about. One of them sounds like a cross between a
yip and a chirp. I could almost swear that there is a bird
in the cage with them. He does it in the same manner that
he yips in, perched on a branch and it's as loud as when he
is barking.
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. 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?"
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?
Any help would be much appreciated, thank you.
