: 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!
: Betsy

Betsy,
Thank you. I will take your advise and keep them seperate. When I said they were wild it is because the man I bought Chip and Dale from said they were from Indonisia and still had the brownish coloring underneth from there natural enviornment.
