I too have added a second pair of gliders to our little family. I had them quarantined for a month in a seperate room to insure that they did not bring in any diseases to harm my other pair. I planned on housing them in seperate cages but in the same room. I eventually moved both pairs in to the same room, and found that the gliders were more interested in each other instead of us. Constantly, the males would have terrible spats through the cages, I was afraid we were gonna lose some toes, so I moved them back to seperate rooms. It is much easier for me this way. Now we can spend seperate times in seperate rooms with each pair. They do not have the same play areas so they are not marking constantly. It is funny though, the gliders do know that their are others in the house. Both will go to the closed door constantly, they are obsessed with it.

Hope this helps....

: I have a pair already, and now I will be getting another pair. Someone doesnt want them anymore.
: First, will the bonding be difficult with the new?
: Second, Will they all get along (from anyones experience?)
: Third, The pair I have now, itch alot. I need to take them to a vet soon and is having trouble locating one.If they have fleas(which Ive not seen)what do you recommend for it? They always sratch. Or rub against something.Is this normal? Its so cute when they do this though.I love'em so much.
