: Two months ago we purchased another gilder to be a companion
: with our first female glider. Both are females and are very tame
: and usually friendly with each other. They sleep together and
: groom each other readily when together in their nest. Our
: original glider, however, becomes very dominant and bites
: the newer, younger glider when they are out to play. The
: older glider bites quite hard as if to injure the younger
: female. We are afraid to leve them together all night for fear
: that an injury will occur. They each have huge cages that
: we intended to join once they were settled but that is not hapening
: Does anyone have ideas on why this behavior is being displayed
: by the older female? Could it be territorial?
