So I tried to get to tent time last night, but there was too much going on. So instead I just removed the divider and let them meet each other in the cage.

Glitch came up to Ula first and started to lick and groom her. Everything was going well until Obake came running over to check her out. Ula got frightened and ran, which made all of them chase her. So I put the divider back in and then just brought Glitch over to her side. They did a little more sniffing but Ula still seemed a little nervous. So when I went to bed I put Glitch back with Obake and Kami. They mobbed her, sniffing and licking her. So I'm thinking about putting Glitch into the pouch with Ulalena this afternoon when I get home. Maybe after a few days of this I can add Kami to the mix and then Obake.

My mom is so worried about little Ula, but I told her it is a process and at least none of them were aggressive. Hopefully it goes better today.

So yesterday when I got home in the afternoon I put Glitch over into Ulalena's side of the cage. They snuggled in the pouch and when they woke up the seemed fine so I left Glitch in there last night.

Obake barked all night looking for Glitch.

Today I came home and put Kami and Obake in with Ulalena and Glitch. So far so good. No hissing or crabbing from the pouch. We'll see how it goes once everyone wakes up.

So yesterday I put Obake and Kami in with Ulalena and Glitch. That wasn't the plan but Kami refused to be caught by me (she is still my shy baby). So I put Obake in first, and then, when Kami was all by herself, I was able to catch her too and put her with the others.

They slept peacefully the whole afternoon. Into the evening I started to hear small noises from the pouch, but no hissing or crabbing. Glitch woke up first, then Ula, then Kami, and finally Obake.

They did fine all night and this morning, so I'm going to just leave them all together.

On a side note, I think Obake thinks he has a magical bark. Every time he has barked all night, another female has appeared. Last night he was barking again, probably looking for more girls to join his colony. He also seems to "stand guard" quite a bit. He actually wiggles his tail like a little lure, too. He cracks me up.

CAUTION: To anyone reading this intro process it can be EXTREMELY dangerous to introduce gliders to one another within a cage that is not neutral to both gliders. This can result in: an inability to break up fights, territorialism, aggression, anxiety, injury, and even death. Please introduce gliders to one another in neutral open environments.

I maybe missing specific back ground information for this particular case but a warning needed to be stated.
