Subject: Introducing gliders - younger female
Posted by Lisa on June 07, 2000 at 23:58:05 from 63.73.128.155

Hi Everyone!
I purchased my first glider the second week of March after
months and months of research and thinking it over. It is
a male and he was about 7 wks OOP. He is my little sweetheart
and after experiencing how wonderful he is I decided to get
another glider as a companion for him and a friend for me.
I brought a 6 wk OOP female home one week ago. The information
from Bourbon's "Introducing 2 Gliders" page and from this
message board have been invaluable to me. My sweeties are
in separate cages and I am following all of Bourbon's
introduction advice. Things seem to be going well so far and
I plan to try putting them together for the first time in three or
four weeks and see how it goes.
I need to know if there will come a point in time when I
should separate them again (assuming the pairing is acceptable
to them)for a while to protect her from being raped. He will
become sexually mature before she does as he is 2 1/2 to 3
months older. Thank you for any advice you have for us!
...Lisa, Tazzy and the yet to be named baby girl!
