My husband and I decided to expand our family, and get a couple of sugar gliders. The guy we got them from said that they "did it" pardon the expression, LOL. Any way, I am new to this, so im not too sure how to tell if shes got some cooking or in the pouch. My husband was able to touch her belly and said that he felt something very small and hard. But I just want to make sure, since were new at this and it may just be her stomach or something hahah....weve had them for almost three weeks now........

Oh goodness. My first instinct was to say " don't touch the belly", but I've done it before myself with a female with joeys but you have to be very careful. I recommend not to do it too much though and if you do know you could be risking the joeys life. You see if the joey gets unlodged from the female usually its jaw gets broken and until they are very far along they can't unlatch and latch to the teat on their own.

After the joey is in the pouch for about two weeks you should be able to see the lump. It takes roughly 16 days after conception that it crawls into the pouch, so wait a little while longer.
