Good luck with your new ones.

When you get them home they probably will
be scared of you for the first few days/weeks.
Hopefully your gliders are bonded to their old
owners---they will miss their old owners, but it
will make bonding with you easier. Give them
time and attention to get used to you and their
new home. While adjusting, they may not eat,
be crabby, not sleep or sleep all the time, and be
frightened or aggressive to you.

Make sure you have a vet in case one of the gliders gets sick.

OOP means out of pouch, which is the marsupial way
of telling how old one is. Birthdate is counted from when the
critter emerges from the pouch, not from when it leaves
the mother's uterus and travels into the pouch.

Keep posting and asking questions, and reading and researching
about gliders so you will be prepared when you get yours.

Good luck.
