Did the breeder not tell you what sex your gliders are??? How old are they? They are very obviously male unless they are neutered... Females have a pouch.

yeah. if it is a male, it will have a small lump near the base of the tail. if it is a girl, there will be a pouch, but you may need to gently move some of the fur to see the pouch.

If its a neutered male you will see neither pouch nor poms.
can you get some piccys of the underside of your glider where pouch/poms would be so we can help you
EDIT: best way to do this with a shy glider is with a bribe and get someone else to grab the pictures as they are eating against the bars. But if they are super bonded or friendly then holding them and someone else grabbing a quick piccy will work, dont forget to treat the glider after so they get a reward for being poked and prodded

this little shy one was oop 29th of july and the breeder only got the parents last november so she dident know what sex the babys was. the boy is a bit bigger (got him from someone else) he is very tame. i am taking it slow with the little one she/he is a bit sensertive and i dont want to break her trust

The breeder should still be able to sex it, one of the things anyone that wants to breed should be able to do is sex gliders, I am shocked they would sell an unsexed glider. As soon as you can, grab a piccy so we can see for ya, but I do recommend you get your other glider neutered so you do not end up with fighting if this one is male as well or joeys far too young if she is female.

That is terrible!! It's not like it's difficult to sex a very young glider... There's no fur to hide anything. Poms AND pouches are on show for the world to see with their cute little bald bellies.

What a surprise...
Maybe you should point her in this direction... Cuz obviously she doesn't have enough knowledge on them to be breeding, either, if she can't sex her joeys.

Love isn't enough, unfortunately... She needs to know what she is doing or her gliders that she loves so much will suffer for it.
