What was it? And is it normal?

[lisalynette]

Okay, today I picked Seth up and he had this thing hanging from his penis. It looked kinda dry and white. We have male sugar gliders and I was wondering, is that his....you know? Is it normal for them to let it all hang out sometimes? I know with gliders that if they are unable to retract it, you put KY on it and it should retract. I just checked him and it was back in. |)

Sounds like Seth was a bit excited rolleyes
Don't be surprised to find boar glue as well....... they love to get it on themselves and if you end up with another piggie...that one too! The girls in the rescues give the boars teddies to take out their frustrations....they too cop it |)

Thank God! I was afraid it was a worm. I'm guessing they floss as well? Thats what they call it when gliders get excited. Okay, gotta ask. Piggies and other pets? My cats and dogs will be terrified of him but if they/he is curious, can or should they meet?

Many on here let their other pets meet each other.........
1. Only you know the other pets temperaments (we have a border collie so she is only allowed to have a quick sniff of the girls and that's it, otherwise she'd think it a game to chase :...)
2. Be super aware and careful just in case


This might help you re the boar glue

Thank you. Now I know to handle that issue should it arise. We'll be going to look for a buddy today.
