I have recently adopted two gliders, both of them are 2 months old and im not sure if they were taken from their mother too early and have not figured out proper hygiene yet, they are constantly wet, i am not sure if this is pee or if its cleaning as it does not smell too good. was just wondering if this is a big deal, will they figure out hygiene on their own? Is there anything i can do to help them, other than rubbing them with a warm wet cloth once a day
If it smells bad then it is not from cleaning. Urine smells like urine, no matter who's it is. If you don't know what urine smells like or can't really tell if it is urine, I suggest bringing them in to see a vet. If you haven't taken them into the vets yet, you should do this anyway just to make sure they're both healthy!
I actually have the same problem it seems. I got my 3 gliders two days ago and the breeder warned me that they pee'ed on each other. I figured it was just a one off thing due to being transferred or something. But they still seem a little wet and smelly. Should this issue resolve itself? Should I somehow clean them?
That isn't a normal behavior if your gliders aren't keeping themselves clean it could indicate a problem. Id take them both to the vet to make sure they aren't having some kind of urinary tract issues personally.
Happens when there scared of coming out of there pouch try keeping a sheet over there cage or keeping the lights off. I have 6 gliders as soon as I started putting a sheet over there cage they stoped peein g in there pouch
