Hi all
Hope everyone is well. Thought I'd put a post up as I've noticed my joey Fli is behaving a little strange. He's about 9 weeks out of the pouch and is absolutely gorgeous but he seems to be nibbling things. Alot!! Last night he knawed through the rope on their pouch I found it on the floor this morning. With them all in. Plonkers!! They have two other beds but this is the one of choice at the mo. When I take him out to bond he nibbles my clothes, cushion covers and my hair. None of my other gliders bite(and nor does Fli) but I was wondering do baby gliders have baby teeth(like a dog or child)? Or is there another reason why he does this?
Any ideas? I know its not a big deal but I thought I'd see if anyone elses gliders do it as my others seem to be nibble free(most of the time anyway)
Thanks
Love Laura xxx

A lot of my joeys are nibblers, last night I was watching the twins in the cage and the little girl was nibbling everything, the boy was too busy trying not to fall off anything bless (it was their 2nd time out of the pouch)  and they are 6 weeks oop, my other male is a nibbler and his 4 months but they do tend to grow out of it from my experience.

Oh ok. The joey is a male so guess its a boy thing. My first joey was a female and I didn't seem to get it so much with her. Fli is a real cluts too. Guess it proves girls are better than boys. Cheers for answering. And congrats on the new arrivals. Are you keeping them?
