I have two gliders, a male and a female. The male is about
one year seven months and the female is around seven or eight
months. I have kept them in separate cages next to each other
for the past six months because I was afraid he would hurt
her since she was so small. I finally put them together in
their new bigger cage about one week ago. Tonight he is
trying to mate with her and she keeps crabbing. He really has a
tight grip on her. I was wondering if he will hurt her? I have read that the male bites the female
on the neck when they mate, so I am not sure if he is being
overly aggressive or not. Should I separate them? I want
babies, but I don't want her to be hurt! Any advice would
be appreciated!
