So i know this is a no no, but they have been barking at each other for two nights .. and i had all night last night and today to think on this and my gut told me to introduce them ..and the reason being is because my joey's have been communicating screen to screen (I have the cages next to each other) and so
I introduced them and at first they were wary but then they started wrapping up and climbing and just inter twining with each other and there is an age difference by two weeks i think but now they are loving each other but now I'm wondering should i separate them again and just call it a meet and greet or should i just leave them because they instantly loved each other?

Good question. I say you should play it safe. I'd hate for something to happen when you weren't watching them But i've never had to introduce gliders before. But if i was in your position (which i probably would have done the same thing!) I would just let them interact for a while as you're watching them, like say during tent time. Then after a bit, say a week, of tent time put them in the same cage during the day to see how it works out with the whole "This is my home" situation. If it goes great then after a little bit of time has passed i'd let them be together. Now, I just want to let you know, i haven't been in this situation before. Just thought i'd put in my OPINION Not facts. Nobody knows 100% what will happen. It's a risk sometimes. Are you wanting to risk it while you're sleeping? Or will you be up watching them to make sure its okay. I wish you luck hun.

See thank you i thought he same thing ..and thats why im gonna lt them snuggle for a lil while longer and then im gonna seperate them just until im awake enough again to watch them to make sure everything stays ok but personally i think peaches and herb are in love :)

Haha! Perfect name! I'm also more lenient then some sugar glider owners then some out there. I bonded with my Trixie so quickly because i did it on HER terms. Not mine. and i think that about a lot of things with gliders. We're on THEIR time. So yours sound like they're ready to interact and if they think they are then i'm sure they are

Good luck!

I have introduce several sets of gliders and I say if they have been introduced and you are home then leave them together. If they are goi g to fight it would be within the first 1/2 hour. They may squabble a bit from time to time saying "yourr foot is in my eye or get your tush out of my face" but they will work it out. If you are home and you are going to bed you will here a fight IF it were to break out. Set an alarm and get up and check on them every so often and give a treat. I do this regardless when I introduce just to be sure everyone is doing OK. I would put them together in the morning and let them sleep all day together and just keep an eye on them. No need to separate them after they have been together all day. Give them at least 2 food bowls for the first few nights to be sure they are not food aggressive.
I think it is kind of unfair to put them together then separate them for several days.

Good Luck and keep us posted.

Ok, so i thought about how comfy they looked



and i just couldn't separate them. Herb only snapped at peaches once and that was when she kept licking him and i think he had enough other then that they have been playing on the wheel ,eating, and enjoying their night together and then once they were finished playing they fell fast into dream land.. Btw

This is Peaches





And this is herb



And the are now part of the pack and im loving it ..

Truthfully, I think they are probably fine together but it never hurts to play it safe. Just keep a close watch for a days or so. They look like they love one another already!

I agree here. I would not even think to separate at this point. They are bonding. I was very wary when I intro'd my last pair. I thought about separating for the night but I decided not to because that is the 'real' getting to know you time. Mine chased each other, crawled all over each other and were so happy to be together. Sure you may have a tiff here and there but I'd get a little upset if someone else s butt or foot were in my face too.

I also went against the normal protocol for the timing of intro'ing my 2 girls, though with different reasons, but i think they will be fine together. like the others said keep a close eye on them and your ears open for a few days. I know Willow was so excited to have a little friend and the first 3 days it seemed she would possibly lick the color off Gypsy cause she was licking her constantly but she finally calmed down and it didn't cause any hairloss on Gypsy. Good Luck with them

LMBO this cracked me up!! i swear he did get upset once but it was a "dang back off" tiff..but other then that he showed her how to get into his pouch it was funny to watch " He was all like "no like this' and he kept doing it over and over until she got it and now they are just snuggled together..i put a rag in there with my smell so i'm in the mix too without bugging them too much..I dont wanna miss out on any bonding either :P

Your first photo say's it all....we love each other and please leave us for a cozy day of sleep and a lifetime of nights with lots of play and fun with each other!

So I know this night sound weird but my male is more bonded with me then my female .. She got out of my cage
And I had to chase her down and now I think she's even more untrustful of me :(
Awe:(

I don't think it sounds weird. I adopted two sisters at the same time and Echo seemed so bond better than Lulu. Still a dew months late if I open the door Echo will jump right ton me and lick and groom while Lulu will come say hi but then return to her wheel lol
