: I have recently adopted a few gliders. I have a mother and father and their maturing male son. My question is: will the son attempt to mate with his mother? Should I take him out of that cage? Will the father keep the son from breeding with the mom? (I know this sounds a little like a bad soap opera.) So far, I have only had experience with same sex gliders (two males), so I really need some help and advice.

You will either need to remove the son or have him neutered. If he is allowed to mature and stay in the same cage he will breed with his mom. The babies will probably not live because they are not viable or he may kill them to protect his place in the order of things.
: Thanks
