Subject: My female doesn't like her daughter any more
Posted by Tammy on December 22, 1998 at 10:04:24:
I was wondering if anyone could help me out. It seems my female glider Sugar, who has babies in the pouch, doesn't like her daughter, Sweetpea, from her last litter. They are both in seperate cages but if Sweetpea's cage gets too close to Sugar's cage Sugar will throw a fit. She will crab at Sweetpea and try and attack her through the cage. I was hoping to be able to put Sweetpea in with Sugar and my male, Peewee, once the babies came out of the pouch and were older. I thought if i kept Sweetpea, (who is not Peewee's baby) that they would get along better then introducing a female that Sugar didn't know at all.
Is Sugar all being this way because of the babies or is it possible that she doesn't want to share her man and is acually being protective of Peewee? Can anyone help me out here? I don't know what to do.
Thanks for any info on the subject, :)
