Question
Hi,
I purchased 2 sugar female gliders from a pet store about 3 months ago.. (8 wk oop)Originally my intentions were to breed them.. Well just recently I have discovered that my 2 females are actually males. My question is since these 2 males have been bonded together since out of pouch, will they be 'ok" just the two of them? They haven't reached sexually maturity yet and they are great together...the head scent gland is just starting to come in..I have no intentions of getting any more sugar gliders and I just want to enjoy these little guys.

Answer
Surprise!

lol .. YES the two male should be very good together if raised together.. tho I ALWAYS recommend getting them neutered.. telling a male from a female is usually very easy.. too bad the store you got them from cant seem to tell the difference..lol

best of luck :)
