Only if they are neutered. I really wouldn't risk keeping 3 intact males together at all. If any of them become dominant, you will end up with seriously injured gliders or worse. It's really not worth the risk.

You cannot keep 3 un neutered males together, UNLESS they have lived together since they were born (or from a very early age). The males are territorial and are likely to do each other some real damage or worse.
Also with males, you should not try introducing them until at least a month after they have been neutered, you need to give the hormones a chance to die down.

For the time being, yes. Will you be getting them all neutered though? Your lone glider really needs company, especially if you can't be around all the time at the moment until another glider is found to go in with him.

Definetly not if they are unnetured. The two unneutered brothers *should*be fine, unless you have a female in the house at any time, but deffo do not try introducing them. Glider bites and fights are horrifc!

The brothers will be fine together because they've always been together, but you must NOT allow them to come in to contact with the male you have now. They could end up killing each other!

I would have them all neutered, personally. If the two brothers started to pick on your lone glider he wouldn't stand a chance.
I'm not sure if you should put the cages right next to each other just yet. As your lone male has been alone for awhile it could make him more nervous, especially as they are all intact. I'd wait for a second opinion on that though, as I may just be over-cautious??
