Gliders generally mate only when the female comes in to oestrus which is once a month.  The mum is pregnant for about 16 days before the foetus moves to the pouch, you should start seeing signs around 6 weeks (in pouch).

i know how you feel Karl lol....although if my lil 3 piece dont breed then its not to big of a deal since i already have 3 which im happy with...i would however really like some joeys to be mine from day one! but we shall just have to wait and see i guess, im just greatful they are all getting on so well and no one has been left out
