I've had my sugar glider for about a year and a half and I think she's getting kind of lonely. I play with her as much as I can but it's kind of hard when I can't stay up late to play with her. My question is if I get another sugarglider for her to pal around with will she be territorial and try to attack the other sugar gilder when I introduce them? Anybody know???

I've introduced one glider to another 3 times. So far I've been succesful. Make a small cage and either put it next to or inside your gliders cage. Let them sniff each other through the wire for a couple days then when you feel comfortable with releasing the new glider out (usually 2-5 days) get a glove if you don't like getting bitten and when they're awake let them meet. Many people are against using gloves I don't use them often just keep them handy. It's just an emrgency thing. In case they get in a Serious Squabble, biting, crabbing continuously. You have to separate them. Just place the glove in between the gliders and they'll stop. ((If Injury occurs separate them for a couple days and start over.)) Then move the gliders a little ways away. Let them meet again, if they fight repeat the process. They should be ok so just keep an eye on them for a while, let them eat together. When I've done this there was only one fight out of 3 times and this was male against male, so far femal to female and male to female are fine. When their was a fight between the males I separated them for a day and placed them together and they were fine. Just remember It takes time. Hope I helped.

Personally if I had not the time for one I would not get another. I would give my glider to a home with the proper time. Just something to think about. Only my opinion though.
