I would suggest buying them at the same time. I bought my two male babies together.They were born out of the same pouch.Had them both neutered and they are two little sweeties. I have been working a lot of hours so it's good that they have each other. Sometimes I have to go to bed early and they have to entertain themselves.Be ready for some work though, as these little guys take alot of time and care.They're not the type of pet you can just feed and forget.No matter how long I work I still manage the 2 hours a day with them.It's a lot, but worth it if you're willing to do it.I love mine.

: : I was wondering if i get 2 baby gliders will they pay attention to each other than me?

: The relationship will be different with two than with one.
: Remember they of course prefer their own specie to another
: you being another. Carry them around with you so you will become
: their tree in the forest so to speak and number 2 in their
: lives each other number 1. Unless you have mega time to
: spend with one however I would recommend two. Get the male
: neutered when he is 8 weeks out of the pouch unless you
: intend to get a license to breed them which of course is
: the law if you give away or sell the babies.
