Right I thought I'd pose a question to you guys. I'm hoping everyone elses gliders do this or mine are as nuts as I thought. I've noticed it most with my female Will. She lifts up her front paw and holds it in the air whilst kinda vibrating. Wispy(the male) does do it as well and sometimes they do it at each other. Initially I thought it was flirting, then something to do with the joey, now I'm completely baffled they seem to do it whenever.
Any ideas?Huh
Love Laura xxxx

Sounds like they're grooming to me.  It you watch really carefully is the back leg moving, do they then lick their back paw or have a quick chew at the grooming claws?

Don't think so but I'll have a closer look next time they do it. Bit wierd!!! From what I can see she does just lift her front paw up. I've gotta admit though I usually am laughing to hard to notice anything else.

Ours do that when they're scratching their belly.

And the sometimes accompanying purring is so cute, too!

Yeah your right!! I have no idea why I've never noticed that before. It is one of my fav things as well. It makes me crack up everytime. I'm kinda dissapointed though was hoping it was something better than grooming(Really hoped it was some kind of wave). Although does keep them looking lush i guess?!?!?
