They live in colonies, so don't "pair up" per say, but they do grieve the loss of a colony member.

But its cruel to remove a bonded pair from each other though.

Yes. Gliders do mourn the loss of a colony member and it's worse if they only had one colony member, as well. If they're kept in a group of three of more, they have eachother to get over their loss together.
