YEAH! Welcome home with the new baby ~Q>
Is your baby only 6weeks OOP? Or 6weeks weined?
I don't know much about introducing new gliders yet, but you seem to have a good idea, have the baby bond to you first so that she does not bond only to Church. Is Church neutered? If not, you will definetly want to keep him away from her for a while :) He will want snookey right away if you know what I mean.

I think that even though you don't want to move the baby girl in with Church right away, it would be a good idea to introduce them. Keep her on your person in a pouch and let them meet during the day, while they are not quite sober. Being so groggy, they may quickly cuddle up together. Won't that be cute?? I am going to get a little girl soon, I am very excited about having a pair. Gosh, the barking at night is crazy with one glider, I can't imagine two. Imagine the barking of a whole colony.....that would be amusing to me.

Anyhoo, good luck and let us know what you name her.

: Today at about 3pm I am going to pick up my new baby girl. She is only 6 weeks old, the only problem is that my male glider Church is now 7 months old, boy they grow up fast. I am going to keep them seperated till she is a bit older. I never put two together before, what is the best way to go about doing that? First I want her to be bonded to me before I introduce her to Church.
