i sold my friend a suggie and when she went to introduce them, (their both females) hers was rubbing its head on the new joey i gave her, like a male does when he sents.. she said she looked it up and its a sign of self mutilation... then she said they were being a big aggressive..but thats normal when you introduce two sugar gliders. I just need some infro to either set her mind at ease or info to better the situation. please help. thank you

ABSOLUTELY NORMAL!

This is the night two of mine met and she is rubbing her head ALL over him. She did it for days.

but this is two females? does gender make a difference. Im worried because this girl just lost her male to self mutilation, her cage is tiny and she has an in proper diet, i only sold it to her after i discussed proper diets and she just ordered a good size cage.

It is absolutely normal no matter what gender. It is a sign of affection. My gliders, male and female mark me and I'm not even a glider.

My concern would be about the diet thing. Are you absolutely sure she has changed their diet and is feeding them good. Ask her to come here and research and learn about the proper care of gliders. We are always happy to help anyone.

Yep, doesn't matter the sex. It's definitely normal...and good! She's claiming her, for lack of better words.

there was one story on here how it looked like one male was trying to mate with another male, but he was marking him or "claiming him" basicly. like a pack of wolves and the leader claims u.

Today when I was in the tent with Razzle she was rubbing her head and chin on my sleeve. She was making the cute little noise they make. It was so cute!
