Im not sure on this one? Are they in their pouch? Sometimes when I have their pouch out on my knee I feel vibrating/shaking but when I look inside, they are usually cleaning their back with their hind legs!

Thanks guys, I was mildly concerned, it doesnt appear to be like he is shaking with fear, its definately more of a vibration - when he is just coming out of his pouch or lion, I just sit and stroke his head from time to time and let him venture out when he is ready. The vibrating does not last long either, often only a few seconds to a minute or two.
His room is kept at 80F day and night, is this okay for him?
Its funny how you can ask a million questions and read tonnes before you get them, but there are always a few questions when they actually arrive.
He is eating and drinking very well so I did not think it could be anything to do with blood sugar levels, plus he is pooping and peeing, so nothing else abnormal that I could notice straight off.

It's nothing to worry about I don't think Angi, I've noticed this in a lot of our gliders here. When I first got Eccles I noticed he was doing it, I wondered about fear, cold, but I think it's just something they do.
