Vous suciez votre pouce quand vous étiez petits. The translation is you used to suck your thumbs when you were small. Why is petit plural - unlikely to be talking to more than one person about this, and why 'votre pouce' when the translation is 'your thumbs' - wouldn't it be 'vos pouces'

Is ice cream plural in French?In the weekend A1 writing excersize it gave, "Leurs glaces sont excellentes !" as the answer for, "Their ice cream is excellent." I got it wrong, of course, because I used it as a singular like I would in English. But earlier in the dialog, they also used it singularly, so I'm not sure why or when it should be plural?

Ils sucent encore leur pouce?

why the singular pouce here and not the plural pouces, as they each have a thumb/pouce and not a mutual thumb, which they all would be sucking?
