: : I got Mama-g about 3 months ago and the bonding went well
: : within the first week. She lost her mate about 6 months
: : ago. I just got two males about three weeks ago. One of
: : males is neutered and about a year old. The other male is
: : about 2yr (I think). I have done the bed switching thing
: : and have the cages next to each other. However it seems
: : that Mama-g is more attached to me and does not want any-
: : thing to do with the males. Suggestions Please...how do I get
: : get them together. The neutered male fits alot with her
: : when they are together. The older male wants to make friends
: : but she wont have anything to do with them. Also can you
: : tell the age of gliders? if so how? I appreciate and
: : suggestions. thanks

: See my post on 8-31-98 to what to do. Try introducing them in some neutral territory. It also helps if it is not in the evening when they are hungry and fully active. Do it in the mid day or early afternoon. Take them out in a neutral place to get acquainted. Try a small room where you can control them, or a bathroom with towels hanging from the drawers and such for them to climb on. Close the toilet. Good luck!!!
Thank you for responding. I know that that is probably what I would have
to do, ut the only problem is that I have not bonded with the
new male and I am afraid that I could not get him back
into the cage. I will let you know what happens. thanks again
for responding.
