Question
I have twin female sugar gliders and I cant tell them apart at all how can i tell them apart?

Answer
That can be very tricky..!!

Telling them apart will take careful study on your behalf.. maybe there is a variation on one's stripes over the other.. maybe a variation in the color itself..?? as gliders grow you can usually tell as appearances change..

If you are unable to see any difference.. the best idea I have is that you might want to snip the edge of the tail fur on the tip of the tail.. so 1 will have a strait edge tail and the other natural..

I have heard of other methods such as dabbing 1 joey with non toxic paint.. or colored ribbons.. but I would use those methods with caution..

Please do let me know if you find any other good methods.. I would love to share the tips with my readers..!!

Thanks for asking & Happy Holidays..!!!
