The Vagina
Female's only of course! ;-)


* Both Males & Females have a Cloaca in which the reproductive, urinary, and
      gastrointestinal tracts open. (Meaning - (to put it bluntly :-) They use the same
     hole to urinate/deficate, have sex, and give birth.)

The Cloaca.

Females have a 'bifud' reproductive tract... the vagina and uterus are double. (The uterus of a marsupial is divided and each side has its own vagina.) The male's penis is bifurcated to match. There is a third tube that is for delivery and, in most species, develops just before birth and is reabsorbed after the birth. Marsupial eggs, unlike placentals, have a yolk. Nutrients are transferred across the yolksac wall and there is little contact with the uterine wall. Females are 'seasonally polyestrous' in cycle. They remain in estrus (in heat), until they either breed, or the season ends. The seasons are governed by temperature and light changes. In captive Gliders, cycles can be very much different from that of wild Gliders. Females give birth to live underdeveloped young that make a journey to the pouch, where they continue to develop.

* If you notice the 'Cloaca looks red and/or irritated, bleeding/swollen, or you notice your Glider is paying unusual amounts of attention messing with their cloaca, or they seem to be having trouble using the bathroom... its best to have an experienced Vet take a look.
