Whats the visual difference of a male neuter scar and a females pouch?

a female's pouch is usually on the middle of her belly (will be a smallish slit). A male's pom will be further down towards the back legs so a neuter scar would be down there.

For reference

ok. so, mine isn't that bonded to me yet..so how do i get it to flip over like that?

what exactly is a pom?

A pom is the male's reproductive organ or his testicles. When they are neutered there are two ways to do it: pom on (where the testicles are removed from the sac but they leave the sac there) or pom off (where they cut off the pom completely testicles and all). Its harder to tell if a male is neutered when it is pom off. If you are not bonded you could try to check it out while he/she is jumping around in the cage or put him/her in a pouch and try to inspect once he/she falls asleep. If those dont work then id say wait till you are more bonded to try to check it out

Edit: you could also bring the glider to the vet, they should be able to tell if they are glider knowledgeable.

when he was jumping around i got a pic of it. if i posted it on here would you be able to tell for me?

might be able to! try to post it

ok one minute

Click the reply button that's above the normal reply box below. You will see a bunch of icons - click the mona lisa icon - and upload:)

its uploaded in my mail album. it wouldn't work on here

all you have to do is cliick on my name and they pop up.

kinda hard to tell but looks like there is a spot where a pom once was. cant be totally sure though.

Allright thats1 i might try to look tonight idk if it'll bite me though..it crabs a lot and bites a lot at me

did the previous owner tell you the sex?

This may or may not help: took these just to try to show you the difference. These are pics from my neutered male and female gliders.


Here's my male: neutered (pom off) and no pouch



Here's my female: And you can clearly see a pouch there. (hasnt carried joeys)




My other female has carried two joeys, so her pouch is a lot more visible than my female who hasnt had joeys and never will. (see how obvious her pouch is - she was cleaning it when i took the pic)

i went and checked both of my gliders. Both were male one with poms off and one with them on. Thank you soo much for all your help! How many gliders do you have?

No problem, glad to help! i have 4, two neutered males and two females :)

awesome! I'm hoping to have 4 in the future and a huge cage. I just have to worry about bonding two more to my colony. Right now i'm bonding my two together now. They are sleeping in the bonding pouch together so I'm probably going to put them together the day after tomorrow. I actually got my first one for $75 $110 with cage. I got my second one for FREE with cage, accesories, and food. Also a scent remover! Haha i thought that was an awesome deal!
