Putting a young female in with a male

22 15:51:15

Question
We recently lost our 9 month old female and we have a six month old male.  We are looking at young and/or baby females to replace her but I don't want to put a too young female in with a male.  He hasn't gotten his bald spot yet, though it's just starting.  At what age can you put a young female with a male?

Answer
Tracy,

If your glider is only six months old, it shouldn't really be a problem.  Make sure you go through the introduction process described on my website: nc.sugar.gliders.googlepages.com.  You don't want to leave them alone together until you are certain that they will get along.

I hope this helps.
