Is it common for the male sacs to hang low somdtimes? Their ball bag i mean?!! Sorry, dont know what else to call it! I noticed gizmos was this morn. Also, he still curling his tail awful lot, i noticed he paying mya a lot more attention too. Hes 10months now. Could he be a hormonal revvd up male? Lol!

She could be in heat which is why he'd be paying her more attention, but as Mark has said, low swinging pom sacs are normal, the cremaster muscle raises or lowers the poms to regulate the temperature of the testes.  Sperm needs to be kept at a specific temperature. Smiley

. . .pet vets practice, but the 2 stand ins hadnt had any experience of sugar gliders, so i immediately turnd down the appt i was offered. I decided to let mya+gizmo be a mum+dad just once and then get him done but my vet is back now and i was in 2 minds wheth or not to get him done now like my other male was,but ive got used to idea of him being a daddy just once,wld be nice but just once.
