QuestionHi, Betty!
I have been searching the internet for a while now, and can't seem to find the answer to this scenario (although I understand that there is no "definite" answer).
I have 3 suggies; 2 female (2 yrs) and 1 intact male (3 yrs). The male has a VERY healthy libido, but he is very confused as to where "it" goes. I have had them for well over a year, all three are very healthy and happy, but I have yet to see him "do it properly". LOL My vet can't find a thing wrong with him that could be causing his confusion.
When I originally bought the gliders, it was with the intention of breeding (there are no other breeders within 200+ miles of here). Since breeding is clearly not an option with this male, I was considering getting him fixed and introducing another prepubescent male.
My question is this: If I fix this male, will it lessen his male tendencies? Would neutering him at this late of an age make any difference at all to his attitude toward new cage-mates?
Thanks in advance!
AnswerTammy,
You have a very interesting situation. I have never heard of that before. In any case, a neutered male generally gets along with anyone. He will likely consider the females "friends" rather than mates, and the new male should not consider him a threat. It takes a while for the changes to take effect, though. After neutering, wait until the bald spot goes away before bringing in a new male.
I hope this helps. Please let me know how it goes, Good luck!
Betty
