: Are you sure about that? I know of one group of twelve sugar gliders (8 female / 4 male) that are all one family and the only breeding pair are the parents (both wild-caught gliders)...

As far as what I've read, the males will struggle for dominance as will the females and the dominant members breed. If the others breed, the babies are typically killed by the dominant ones. As for the group you spoke of, it is easy to tell which female is having babies, but how is it possible to know which male she bred with?
