ive had a female glider for about 3 months and shes gotten to know me and now we got her a male glider that is about the same age and moved them into a big cage. the first night they got to know eachother and now they are sleeping in the same bag. but i noticed that a strong odor has appeared. it smells like urine. i was wondering how i could stop this. or maybe getting him nutored might help.

Male gliders have a tendency to mark there territory and their peoples wink
Getting him neuterd will deffinatly help!

This odor does die down after a while -- the new male is marking his territory, as Kimi said, but with my male, the marking only lasted a couple of weeks. Only the sleeping pouch is stinky now! raspberry

Yes nudering him would help,also cleaning the bottum of the cage everyday, and the whole cage once a week smile smile smile
