Hello! I’m new to owning sugar gliders and I just got my first two gliders five days ago. I got one neutered male who’s about 4-5 months old and a female that’s 9 months. They’ve been good about eating there food that my breeder set there diet on(OHPW), but they will not eat any fruits or veggies, which is part of there diet. My female feels a lot more boney than my male. I have nothing to weigh them with, but just wanted to know if it’s normal for a girl to feel a little more boney vs a male? I’m sure my breeder would have never sent me my gliders if something is visible wrong, but I’m not sure. She’s a lot more scared I can tell. I’m able to pet her and handle her decently well without her biting or even attempting to bite, but I know that she must still be very stressed and scared. Both my gliders also don’t seem to wake up a lot at night. I sometimes wake them up but even then they might crawl in there pouches again. I have seen them out and I see them drink and eat well other than there fruits and veggies. My main concern is if it’s normal for a girl to feel more boney. She doesn’t look boney, but when I pet her she feels like it. Here’s a few pictures of them if it helps at all? She is a little lighter than my male but I heard that males are a little heavier than females.
