: Hi everyone, those who read these posts know my "story" I purchased three adult gliders ( 1 1/2 - 2 yrs of age ) a few months back, they were taken care of but the family didn't have or put any time into tameing them or ever attempting to hold them.. I can now hold two of them outside of the cage and pet the male inside. I believe at least one of my females is with joey ( she sucessfully had a female joey before I got them )and the other might be ( she had and lost two joeys right before I got them ) I have concerns over the dominant female killing the others babies ( maybe what happened last time ) so I've been thinking of seperating them, but I'd hate to stress my one female and leave her alone, I "met" a woman who is selling her 5-6 month OOP male glider ( she claims is holdable and tame $90 ) because she doesn't have the time for him... he's also been housed in a cockatile cage, so I further consider this sort of a "rescue". But I'm not sure if it would be a good idea to house him with my possibly pregnant submissive female, so any advice would be greatly appreciated.. would getting him and putting them together be a good thing for her ( and him ) or would I be better off leaving things alone and just houseing him seperately or not getting him at all? Thank you very much for your advice!
