The earliest a female will sexually mature is 6 months old...its is normally around 9 months but can be a little earlier or later.

I do hope you are not planning on just "putting" a female in a cage with a male when she is sexually mature frown
They should be introduced slowly and allowed to form some sort of bond before actually placing them in the same cage.
Place their cages right next to each other and give them several weeks before actually introducing them to each other. Be sure to keep a close eye on them when first introduced just in case they don't get along.
This doesn't happen often,but all glider personalties are different and you can never be sure. ;)
