Ok, my little booboo is about 9 weeks oop. He is best buds with my 8 month female, beebee. Does anyone know when gliders sexually mature? Male and Female? I don't want any babies. Also, what age can you neuter males?

Most recommend getting your male neuterd around 6 months, but it can be anytime as long as the testicles have droped. Also, it really depends on the glider, but females usually mature around 8 months and males about 8 to 10, but I have heard stories of a male impregnating a female at about 6 months.
