Question
I have two Sugar Gliders one is a girl and one is a boy my girl one had all girl babies and one male I gave the babies to my brother when they got old enough.Then my one of my brothers babies passed away so i gave him the male baby the male baby was not so nice so he would bite people.Then my brother sold the two and still had the male because the male was alone he gave him back to me I put them in the cage all together and then i left for like 10 min. and the dad sugar glider was getting attacked by the baby so I grabbed the baby and put him in a little cage he kept on getting out I kept finding him then I put him in a cage outside and then I grabbed both pouches and faced each other then they fighted then I stopped them and looked at the dad Sugar Glider he had a swollen eye and scratches on him I didn't know what to do so I clean their pouch and i left them alone so i want to know if the dad will be okay thank you so much!

Answer
Alyssa,

I am not a veterinarian, so I really don't know if the dad's eye will be okay.  It would be best for you to take him to a vet.

Two males usually do not get along together.  You will most likely need to keep the two males separated.  If you want to keep them together, you will need to have one or both of the males neutered.  

I hope this helps.  Good luck.  Please let me know if you have any other questions.
