I have deffinitly seen this before. I personally think the male gliders love the females a lot more than the females love them. Have you ever liked soemone and they didn't like you back? Well its sorta like that. Your male is really into her..and she could care less. Thats how it is a lot of times. As long as they aren't fighting then they can stay together...but don't let them be together if they try to fight. Be careful your male be a little rough with her at furst since hes so eager. Its normally betetr to introduce durring the day when they are sleepy but since you already introduced them then let them stay together.

Hee, hee! I can attest to this. I think it's hormones just as much as it is love. Mine both were very excited to meet each other for the first time, and showered one another with kisses, but as soon as Murry became sexually mature he annoyed the heck out of Zelda.

He always tried to mark her by rubbing on her with his head. Sometimes he'd grab part of her with his hands just to hold her still while he marked. She'd get very annoyed, especially if she was eating a grape. She always eats them while hanging upside down, and he'd always bother her. She crab, grab the grape in her mouth, and run upside down to the other corner of the cage ceiling so she could eat in piece, but he'd always find her and bug her again. Eventually he got tired or bored (not sure which) and left her alone, but I'm really glad he's neutered now or I think my poor little Zelda would starve to death. smile
