: Ok i ave been trying to introduce cookie and ichabod for the past couple of day's. she does not like him at all! looks or smells to much like gwen i guess. i am getting the boys neutered in a couple of day's so i think i will just keep gwen romeo and the baby's all together. What do you think? Love Holly and her glider family

WELL..Bourbon is out of town right now..so i don't know when she will get around to replying....But here's my take...I wouldn't keep them all together. Even with the males being neutered..you could run into problems. I have heard and also experienced problems myself with housing more than a pair of gliders together. The main problem is making sure everyone is eating enough...that there isn't one or more gliders hogging the food bowl and not allowing the others to eat. I have heard stories of more than one gliders housed in trios or more dying of starvation...sad but true. Really, the decision is yours...but i think you would be better off housing them in pairs.
