So I got him 8 weeks OOP. its been 1 week, and we have made incredible progress. the breeder i got him from has a another boy available... so this boy would come from the same breeder, but obviously different parents... and he would be a week younger than my asimov.

should i jump at this opportunity to get little asimov a friend? or, shall i wait til he is a bit older and ready to neuter? and, since they are from the same breeder, i feel like i can cut the 30 day quarantine down?

A week difference in age is perfect; they should be about the same size so that if introductions lead to fighting, each will be able to defend himself. If the breeder is agreeable, I would give him another two to four weeks with his parents. In that third month they learn so much about how to be a glider, develop social skills and self-confidence.

I am so happy to hear that you are making great progress with your little guy! I think this is an awesome opportunity for you and him to get a friend, and trust me, he will be much happier for it! Two might stink a bit more, but they are a lot more fun!

I think you should get him one sooner rather than later, but I also agree with snusie... you should give him a little longer with his parents. A vet check is a good idea anyways... I'd take him just as a general wellness checkup and to check for parasites.

Congrats on bonding with your little guy! Good luck with getting him a little buddy...
