: I have a pair of gliders that are now raising their third
: baby, and I would like to know how they will get along if
: left together. I have heard lots of stories about the mom
: becoming aggressive towards female offspring when they
: become mature, but how do males get along if left in the
: same cage as mom and dad? I read some info on the
: University of Tasmania page that said that the sons actually
: help the father to care for siblings. Does anyone have any
: experience with this? And will the sons interbreed with
: mom? Any help would really be appreciated!!!

It is probebly best to seperate the parents and offspring. Mothers and sons will interbreed, and that is not advised. Good luck. :)
