What do you do with a baby sugar glider once its weaned? Can I keep them all together or should I separate?

I have a pair of Sugar gliders and they had their first baby girl in the fall. The baby sugar glider is big enough now and I'm not sure what to do. Can I keep them all in the same cage or do I need to put her in another cage. I would like to keep her but I dont really want to keep up with two cages. Help! I would like to hear from experience sugar glider owners only please. Thanks.

    As stated above, if you keep her with her parents, the father will try and breed with her. This will likely occure before she is even ready to breed, causing a huge amount of stress on her which could result in cannibalism or other unpleasant scenarios. If you want to keep them together, you could always have the dad nuetered. Otherwise, you will want to separate them, probably sooner than later, and find her a companion or a new home. I hope that helps!

    Sugar gliders like to be with other sugar gliders and should be kept together. If you take her out, she may become depressed. You may want to watch though, you'll end up with many more sugar gliders and that is a full time job! Good luck.

    There are many sugar glider forums where you can get advice from more experienced sugar glider owners. I've had mine for 4 years but I only have 1. We have to keep him with us a lot of the time so he's not alone.

    What eating ordinary are you feeding? some gliders do exactly not opt for to be mom and dad and the eating ordinary or managing the joeys does not remember they are going to continuously reject the joeys. additionally you have been informed they are not appropriate. I assuming at a puppy save or some thing? this might ok have been a lie. in the event that they did not provide you the glider's lineage there isn't any thank you to understand in the event that they are appropriate. they may well be brother and sister. you will possibly desire to think of roughly getting you male neutered. those adult men the two have some thing incorrect with the joeys or do exactly not opt for to be mom and dad.

    If you keep this female with its parents inbreeding is more likely to occur. Advertise it as a swap for an unrelated female.
