I currently have the lovely Mylo and Bella and due to my sister being unable to keep her gliders anymore we've inherited them Loke and Luna. Both Males are nuetered Myo Loki and Luna are 3 whereas Bella's around 2 would it be advisable to put them together into a colony?
They're currently housed in two large seperate cages and i was thinking about getting one huge one for the four? how do you go about introducing 2 on 2? The cages have been close for sometime without any incidents and they often watch each other through the bars (no crabbing or attempts at attacking) any tips would be appreciated! They definately won't be seperated if they all go together! Smiley
Thanks Caz

They should be ok to go together as the males are neutered.  The next step is getting them to meet, let them all out together for playtime and see how you go then.  If all goes well I wouldn't actually put them in the same cage until you get the new one, neutral territory and all that.

Finally getting to know each other after bag swaps and brief meetings during play time however one of the males (Mylo my largest) seems a bit overly aggressive and keeps trying to be over dominant on the other male....should i just take it slow and let them work it out or keep seperating when they get scrappy? just don't want the second male (loki) to be over intimidated!
Any advice would be grand! looking at a new cage in the year!

Just take things slow and easy Smiley Keep swapping cage furniture around and letting them meet through the bars and at play time (just make sure there is a decent gap between the cages, so they can't reach eachother when unsuporvised).

just to update they're really getting on but i have one problem my chunky monkey Mylo who's a bit bigger to the other male has taken to sitting on him.... which causes Loki to get quiet upset! I'm taking it as just a sign of dominance but is there anyway i can stop him being quite so forceful on poor loki?
Bella and Luna meanwhile seem to be fine Bella loves everyone and is more than happy to run around saying hi luna likes to mix but is a bit shy  Smiley looking at a new cage in the next few weeks!
