aww, i have 2 little guys. one has a 'normal' pointy nose and the baby in the famliy has a pug nose. When we got him we didn't know this wasn't normal, we actually picked him out because of it - we thought it was cute...i think my little pug nosed boy is adorable. (but i may be a bit biased as a mommy) *smiles*
his pic was posted earlier in this thread.

My baby Nahla had a little pug nose. Sadly our vet said she had breathing and respiratory problems, and she passed away a little fighter. I was told it was a genetic abnormality, and there was really no treatment for it. Two fingers on her back feet were fused together, and during the necropsy we found that her little lungs didn't develop as fast as they should have. I'm not sure it's fully related to the pug nose, but she did sneeze a lot and it was normal to her.

I did see the fused toes on my other gliders, however hers were very tiny in proportion to theirs. I know I still have a lot to learn about them though.

I have several of the "short faced" gliders. Their face looks a little rounder than the "pointy face" gliders I have. They've never had any problems. I don't consider them to be pug nosed. I've seen so many of these "short faced" gliders, I think it's just the way these are normally meant to be.

There is a difference between short faced and pug nosed. Many of mine have the shorter more round faces but are not "pug nosed".

I wouldn't want to breed them either to get that trait. I am glad to know exactly what it is though.
