About how long does it take for a glider to grow to full maturity. Just curious I have had my gliders for 4 months now and they don't seem to have grown.

How old are they already? They grow very fast upto 4 months. I had to double take my guys last night as I wasn't sure which were my 6wk old joeys or 14month old females! Theyre almost the same size.
I think by 12wk they're almost fully grown, they will obviously just chunk out a little.
But like I said, without knowing their age it's hard to say x

You are so right! Little Ariana who is only 3mo. old has fast caught up with Zoey & Mala and Zoey's almost a year old now.

I also got both my females at 10wk. They were a lot bigger than I thought they'd be at that age. Like I said, at 10-12 week, they are roughly adult sized, they just chub out a little more rather than get physically bigger.
She's only 5month now, so it's only been a few weeks. Mine aren't much bigger now (at 14month) than they were when I got them. Females are often smaller. I wouldn't worry at all x

You are asking 2 different questions. Maturity and growth are not the same. They will hit the end of their initial growth between 12 and 24 weeks. Then they are approximately the size that they will be when full grown. Maturity does not happen for females until between 9 and 18 months and for males between 3 months and a year.
