I have been researching information on how to determine the sex of my sugar glider. I was told she was a female. How long does it take for a (male) glider to start going bald (the maturation of his scent gland located on top of his head.)Are the male's testicles located on his mid-stomach? Is that the same area that a female's pouch is located?

I have four females and have never seen their pouch.

I had a male that had his bald spot and 16 weeks/4 mos. There have been others that haven't had their develop until almost a year. If they are neutered, chances are they will not develop one at all. Yes, the testicle sac (poms) are located mid-belly where the pouch would be and looks like a little bunny tail. Again though, if neutered, it may have been removed. With females, it's kind of hard to see the vertical pouch until they're a few months old. You can usually get a good look if you can get them onto the side of the cage right in front of you. Maybe have him/her reach up for a treat while you're looking so they stretch out in front of you. Hope that helps!
