: does anyone know if 2 female SG (5 months and 8 months old) can cohabitate together in the same cage without complications?? my 5 month male SG died the 2nd day they were shipped to me (currantly due to unknown reasons). in my frantic attempt to find a companion for my 5month old female SG, the only SG available in a 20 mile radius of pet stores around my home was another female SG who happen to be 3months older. I wonder if this will create any complications in the cage??? does anyone know or care to comment?

Hi Ilisa,
Please be careful when introducing your 2 girls. I'm a breeder
and have seen older females hurt younger ones (not their own
babies). Gliders are very unpredictable and the one you had
first might hurt the new one. Then again, they may get along
just fine.
Introduce them to each other carefully and watch what they
do and you should be able to tell pretty quickly if they will
get along. They probably will, sooner or later, but please
be careful at first.
Pat
