I have a young male named Taz and I want to buy him a mate. I have only had Taz for a week, and I will have money for the mate in a month. my question is this, should i wait until me and Taz have fully bonded to get him the mate, or should i get one as soon as possible? I am a college student, and so I am not home as much as i want to be, i think he needs a buddy.

I personally think you should wait till you are really bonded. Its not easy to bond with several gliders at one time...and soem gliders will tryst you faster if they see another glider trusts you. As for the time..well if you are having trouble now then don't get another glider. Multiple gliders require more time than a single one does. So getting one ebcause you don't have enough time for one..is a very abd idea.

I would deffinitly say pouches are better for gliders.

As for oranges...gliders can have them in moderation. Its high in acid and can cause stomach aches if given to often or given too much of. So be careful.
