New sugar

Question
Hello, i have a Little Female Sugar Glider, she has 1 year, unfortunately she hasn't get used to me since I'm not a lot of timing at home due to my job, i don't like shes alone, so I'm planning to buy another little baby male 2 months, do you think she can get aggressive with him? what would be the best way to introduce the little male

Answer
Congratulations on your new glider..!!

We have many gliders enter our home that are at least a year or more old.. in rescue.

Please don't worry.. as the more time you spend with her the more she will come to know you and your scent.. In order to bond with her more you could question whether or not you could take her to your job with you (only if it was safe to do so)I have many adopters who use this method successfully.. Other ways are for you to keep her in a bonding pouch which you can wear all the time you are at home.. you will be able to walk around and do multiple tasks with her hanging around your neck.. this will give her the correct exposure to what YOU as a human sounds like and also the feel of motion in association to riding on a human.. all the while taking in your scent.

In my experiences with Gliders a social glider is a happy glider.. your little one will be much happier having a cage mate by her side. We always recommend having gliders in pairs.. they really need that type of bond & you will see her demeanor change dramatically upon initial introduction to another fuzzie of her own type!

Please use caution in introductory methods tho.. Some gliders will greet each other with open arms while others will not recognize the other's smell and might have a hard time in the beginning. Initially you can let them meet thru the bars & see how things go.. being cautious and ready to break up a fight if one ensues.. Glider squabbles can be VERY dangerous resulting in massive injuries & further mental trauma.. if a severe fight does result, it would be strongly advised to be prepared to keep the two separated until formal introductions have been completed..

There are a number of ways to go about the intro.. patience will be of utmost importance here as these things could take time. Our favorite method is what we call sack swapping.. which consists of swapping the sleeping sacks of the different gliders to be introduced for a number of days.. while a glider sleeps the scent of the opposing glider will be embedded into each other's sensory glands.. and before long each will smell like the other making the bonding & introductions much smoother..

Works Every Time..!! ;)

I hope this info helps & I would be interested in knowing how things work out so please keep me informed if you have the time..

Best Wishes
