I have my little boy Echo whoz about 3 months oop. Sure he's a little pain sometimes but when I finally got a good look at him, I noticed he didn't have a bald spot. Not even the slightest indications that there ever will be. Is he just a late bloomer or something? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thanx.gif" alt="" />

No, hes still too young. Male gliders start as early as 4 months. So when he gets a couple months older you might start seeing a bald spot forming.

I got Relly and Gus Gus when they were a few months OOP. Gus didn't really have much at all in the way of a bald spot. It seemed to start developing suddenly one week. Remember, they don't really reach maturity until about 7 months (for males that is).

Dayla, i agree with Dustin that the gliders can reach maturity as early as 4 months. It just depends on your gliders.

Ok, but my last glider Rio had his bald spot at 2 months oop when I got him. Sadly he he died of an unknown cause but I was kinda thinking he might have just been extremely early!

Peggy's little Dasher started getting his bald spot at 5 or 6 weeks oop! But still, it isn't uncommon for a 6-7 month old to just be starting to get theirs. Not to worry!

I looked at Zayne a couple of days ago, really closely, and I noticed his is starting to form also, its very suttle(sp?) but if you look closely, you can see it starting to form, and hes only 3mos and a week old! Im with everyone who says it depends on the Glider, lol

I was just discussing bald spots with Priscilla Price yesterday because I have a 5 month old male with no bald spot... Priscilla said that it's not uncommon for males to never get a bald spot and still be capable of breeding. It actually turns out that the female I have paired with my bald spot-less male comes from a line where the males don't really have bald spots either...

Canstarhun, I understand that they can start early, Gus Gus actually did. I was just stating an average time.
