I had a lone female glider for about 2 years. She semed quite happy, healthy, loved to play with me, and was generally
well adjusted to being by herself. I gave her plenty of love and attention, probably more than she wanted at times! I bought
another female glider about 10 months ago and am so happy I did. Moe (my oldest) is not as cuddly with me anymore, but she still
loves my attention, but she is entranced with the baby. For the first couple of months she could not get enough of her, always nuzzling, licking,
touching, and playing with the baby. She is so funny with her! The baby loves the attention too. They are so happy together and it makes me
happy to see that Moe has a friend of her own size now.

If you give your glider as much attention as you say you do, she probably isn't very lonley and isn't going to die of lonliness-I know mine wouldn't have.
But as I found, they are much happier in pairs. Anyway, 2 is better than one! I would recommend getting another glider if you can. It really is worth it for
you and your Roo.

I would recommend getting another female so you and your parents don't have to deal with the babies. My two females get along fine.
