Hello,

I have a pair of gliders : male, 15 months old and female, 18 months old.

On March, their joey came out of pouch. Since then, my female has been gaining weight steadily.

March : 108 gr
April : 116 gr
May : 122 gr
June : 129 gr
July : 134 gr

Before mating, she was a small girl, weighing around 80 gr. Now, her patagium isn't thin like the male's and she looks chubbier.

She is still using her wheel, running around the cage and playing around when it's tent time.

Is there any way for her to lose some weigh? I don't want her to become obese as it can cause some serious health issues :(

What diet is she on?
Lower/avoid giving her treats. Get her out in a mosquito-net tent or a run-about and try to encourage more exercise.
