Hi
i have 2 gorgeous little girls who are unrelated and they are about 6 months old now called honey and sky. i want to start breeding them but i am not sure how many males i can have with them. do i have to separate them in different cages or can they all live together in one very large cage? do the males only breed with one female or will they fight? please help me, i rather have the information before i get the boys so i know that i am doing it right.
thank you

You shouldn't breed your girls until they are about a year old.  At six months they still have a lot of maturing to do and breeding them so early could be detrimental to their health.

Males will breed with more than one female.  In captivity trios are not guaranteed to work, but at the same time, they can work, it all depends on your gliders. Two females and two males in the same cage I wouldn't go there!  One male will kill the other male's joeys, and that is very upsetting.

I don't want to be a kill-joy, but I wouldn't start breeding them until you absolutely are prepared and in the know for all possible outcomes

thanks guys thats why i asked on this forum so i could get more information before i do anything. how old do the males have to be when they reach maturity?

When their bald patches start to appear, that means they are maturing sexually, and it's usually around 6 months.
