I have two males (brothers) purchased at the same time.They are now 9 months old and both neutered.I have no problem with them. I was told to have them both neutered so that they wouldn't fight later, and they don't at all.They are pretty mellow, and I think it's good that they have each other for the nights that come up and for some reason I can't have them out.

: :He may or may not need a freind but from what ive heard you dont want to get another male.I would suggest nutering your male and getting a female if you want a freind for him . I have one male sugar glider who is about 8 months old. I am able to get him out usually 2 hours in the evening and one in the morning (even though about only an hour total is spent on me). Is this enough time? He seems to have odd mood changes where one day he is really frisky and another he is sullen, other than that he seems healthy. Is it because he needs a friend? is this normal? I don't want babies, so would it be alright to get another male?
