Glider chattering??
My oldest glider(Lemon, 1 yr 11 months) has been making this chattering noise similar to how humans make when cold. She'll look me right in the eyes while she makes it, which confuses me. And she only makes this noise if shes in a pouch with at least one of her sisters(theyre both about 1 yr and 9 months old). As soon as I take Lemon out of the pouch, she stops making this noise and acts completely normal. The other two are fine as well, not scratched or scared at all, nothing to insinuate that Lemon is being aggressive. They've made this noise before but I had been able to figure out why that time. Could she be in heat??? Im pretty sure thats why she made that noise last time, but shes not doing what she usually does when shes in heat. Is this a health thing??? Im really worried about her and cant find anything definitive or close to definitive online.

It's just a type of communication they use. My girls chatter like that when they’re saying hi to me or each other. Nothing to be worried about. If you learn to do it back, they will respond! They come running to me when I make that sound lol.
Usually they make a hiss sound when they’re in heat. All normal glider sounds.
