Once the Joeys begin exploring outside the pouch, it
will usually be another 6-8 weeks before they are fullyweaned
and ready to leave their parents.
NOTE: Baby Gliders are much like human children
in that it’s impossible to judge their age by their
weight. With human infants, newborns can range from
a couple pounds –to 12lbs or more. Joeys are the
same way – and can often weigh 3-4 times as much as
other babies their same age.
