Maybe like a choking kind of thing. I hear them do it and then check on them and the noise stops, so I assume they are okay. Just seeing if anyone else had heard this before?

I would bring them both in to the vets for urinalysis, fecal float AND fecal smear to make sure there is no infection (bacterial or parasitic) going on. Can you tell if the glider making the sound is trying to defecate or urinate while making the sound? My Darwin makes that sound when he is constipated. After getting a clean bill of health in regards to infections, my vet prescribed Lactulose - which is a glider-safe laxative.
