Is It A Girl...or Boyl?!

        The story of how I found  out my Bubbles was a boy is quite... embarrassing! I got Bubbles for Christmas of '11, when he was just 2 months old. My parents got him off of Craigslist from a lady who had no idea how to take care of him. She told us he was a girl and the first thing I noticed were his GIANT eyes. He was so cute and outgoing I admittedly thought of Bubbles from The Powerpuff Girls, especially with those big old eyes! <3 About a month later I was sitting on the floor hand feeding him Cheerios and I noticed he had a long, pink, worm like structure coming from his genital area. Of course I thought it was worms but there was something else, it looked like it had a second head.. 
        Upon further research I learned it was his penis and the "second head" actually acts as a hook when he is mating to help aid the success of passing on his genes. Also, what I had thought was his pouch were actually developing testes. Over the next month or so he started developing a larger "bald spot" between his eyes. This is the tale-tale sign you have a boy sugar glider. 
        As you can imagine my parents still make fun of me for this, so I suggest you give your Suggie close to 6 months before you decide whether it's a boy or girl.
