Right I know it seems a rather silly question.. But If a boy glider is Neutered, does he still develope the scent gland markings?
I'm sure they do because even though the boy has no reason to mate he will still want to mark territory right? though maybe not so frequently..

A neutered boy will lose his forehead and chest scent gland marking...  Will look like a girl in that respect Smiley

Aww I feel bad now because it seems like I have taken away his manhood!  Sad
I feel bad but he can't be having babies with his sister!

He will enjoy life w/o the constant stimulus to establish territory, protect a mate, and make joeys whenever the female comes in season.

Neutered males make great, curious little pets.

Neutered males are still little men, so no worries about them feeling girly.  It's so much better for them to be neutered.  Some of my neutered boys still have a hint of the scent glands, though.
