Just my opinion on it...I would keep them in the same cage but handle them one by one. Get them out and carry them with you in a pouch during the day..one at a time. Bonding is a long process for some gliders. My female who is 3 years old now was the same way when we first got her. She was like that because she hadn't had alot of human interaction before we got her. She does occassionally still nip but usually only when she is "playing" or she doesn't know the person well. But she doesn't do the vicious biting anymore!
Best of luck to you...hope this helped a little.


: : we got our two gliders about a month ago. a m&f they about 2 months old. they are fine during play time. when we try to get them out of their pouch they want to bite blood style. should we seperate them and work with each one by itself. until each one bonds with us then put them back together?
