: I just got a pair of gliders last month. They are wild. We
are waitng for two joeys to come out of the pouch to begin
to tame. In the mean time I have aquired another pair of
gliders (Bonnie and Clyde). My questions are; is it a good
idea to put the two pair together? Is there a chance the mom
will freak out? Is it possible for Bonnie and Clyde to harm
my original pair (Chip and Dale), or there joeys? If anyone
has had experience with this I'd sure appreciate some advise.
Thank You, Karen

Karen,
I would not advise putting them together. Usually there is one alpha male and one alpha female in a colony.
When you say they are wild - what do you mean? Not tamed? I didn't think anyone was still importing them since they are being captive born now.
I am not sure where the stories are - perhaps in the archives. But many have lost favorite gliders by trying a threesome.
I would not advise it.
Best of luck!
