14 Weeks OOP baby male in cage still and mummy pregnant again.....help?!

[jenz1988]

Dear all,I was wondering if you could help...

We recently started breeding gliders about 18 months ago after much research and making sure we were clued up before hand, its always seemed to work out that Angel has had only one baby and has had 3 little ones so far, 2 girls and a little boy (who by the way is gorgeous! has such a beautiful face!) the male is now 14 weeks OOP and we are in the throse of letting him go to a suitable owner.

However a couple of days ago we noticed Angels belly on BOTH sides was looking rather podgy, so we're thinking theres a high chance she is pregnant again.....could this baby still being in the pouch with him cause any problems?? Obviously we need to remove him from the situation sooner rather than later and that as he gets closer to 6 months he reaches sexual maturity, we know that the baby wont have got Angel pregnant as he it too young but we just need advice regarding the babys presence still in the pouch with Angel being pregnant? will the current baby attack her or anything?

Thanks in Advance

He shouldnt be in the pouch if he is 14weeks oop he wont be able to fit back in and he should be well and truly feeding for himself by now.

It *shouldn't* be a problem, sometimes an older sibling can kill the new joey but that doesn't happen very often.
