ok howie i think that you have had the best intentions for yoiur gliders but i am afraid you did not do very much research. Your female prob. shackes when other people come around because she is scared of them, you need to work on bonding with your gliders before you bring any more into this world. The reason i recomend getting your glider neutered is simply pet control. Both my male are getting neutered in 8 day's. It seems to me that you did not do all your reasearch, personally i think you should neuter your male. Then consintrate on their health, breeding over and over is not healthy, esp. if they are not getting the right diet. Work on your relationship with them. You need to start becomeing a responsible owner coming to this board was the first step. You need to think of what is best for your gliders not what is best for your friends who you are giving the baby's too. In the future if you wish to breed then you can. And neutering males is not a hard process if you tell me where you live i can give you the name and address and number of a vet that has glider experiance. Please start thinking about your glider's well being, i think you had their best intrest in mind but just got some wrong info. And who ever told you that you have to have a license only if you sell them if very wroung. gliders are considered exotic animals and the usda does a very very good job of looking after our little ones and us....please do some more research and let us know about your progress, i am putting my email on here so if you have anymore questions please ask...
Love Holly and her glider family...cookie, gwen, romeo, azula, and ichabod
