Subject: I did something right, 2 of my rescue gliders are with child :)
Posted by Ronda from MONTANA on April 12, 1999 at 12:25:23:

I was cleaning cages this morning and found one of my gliders is with twins. I knew one was with child earlier in the month but another one is too!! In subject I said they were rescue gliders so they are not the tamest, they went from one home then to another because original family was pg themselves, then into a pet store that was trying to take care of them correctly but didn't even know how to sex them, feeding them mega cat food and peanuts. Anyway they are not really the tamest of creatures, we are getting better, I have had them since early Jan. in pet store they were in a wire cage about 3 ft by 2 ft by 4 high, they are now in a 6 x 6 by 3 1/2 there is a total of 9, I know to many but how does one choose who to split up,
and remove from the family. QUESTION, when after I see the babies out of the pouch can I start holding them, and should I remove the mothers now into a maternity cage, or just leave them all in the family group, 3 males 6 females, males are not related, females are mothers and daughters. PLEASE try to email me, as it is easier to print and read and reread. Thank you
