Guess I must have an unusual trio by the other answers I've seen here. They never fight (unless it's a female begging off the males advances! Such is life!) One female always has 2 babies each time, and the other always has 1 at a time, but she has a really odd pouch and may be incapable of having 2. I've even seen the females taking care of each others offspring, and daddy takes care of all of them just fine. They don't breed as often as my pair of rescue gliders, but I prefer it that way so I know they are not physically overtaxed with raising the young ones. Those in the trio are all unrelated, but were raised together from "infancy". This is certainly not to suggest that all trios will work this way, just to say that I must be one of the lucky ones that my gliders get along so well.
