group of gliders

hi is it best to have a male to female group or a male to more females as with other pets its a male to two to three females is this the same or do gliders mate for life ,

They don't mate for life, if you take him out and put him with another female they will breed, but it's not ethical as they do bond.  There should be more females than males, but to be honest, as a new keeper I wouldn't go for the breeding thing just yet.  Buy 3 females and you can add a male once you're a little more experienced.

hi marie,thanks for that,how much do you sell your females for,it will be a couple of months yet as finishing of building cage,which will be 8ft,4ft,3ft so will give them plenty of room to run around in,

[Marie]

I sell them at £125, all home bred but I don't have any at the mo.  I have one joey OOP and too many adult males!!!  The cage is a good size, looking forward to seeing pictures of it.

You could even just start w/2 females. Or you could start w/2 neutered males that already know each other.
