When a Girl was actually a Boy...

Going back to one of my earlier posts on Stripey, one of my sugar gliders.... when I got her from my friend MJK, I was told that Stripey is a girl glider. Accepted that as a fact and was secretly glad as I thought that my Keenu will be getting a girl pal soon.

I've never had a girl glider before but MH, who is helping me take care of Stripey did voice out that "she" is more aggressive than the average female glider. He ought to know better, as he owns several gliders both male and female. He kinda suspected that Stripey may be a male but he didn't say and also we were not able to sight any testicles.




A week ago, MH noticed this white patch which was forming on the crown of Stripey's head. Alamak... that confirms it.. Stripey is a boy glider. That dashed all my hopes of getting a gal pal for Keenu. Sigh...have to girl hunting again for my little Keenu... (thoughts of a concerned glider "mum").
