So I have two gliders, Amber and Lucas. Lucas is neutered, Amber is a cinnamon female.


I got another intact male, unnamed as of now. They're about the size age and size. I've done pouch swapping, toy swapping, and the like for awhile now.

Plan is to eventually breed the intact male and Amber.

I've introduced them in the bathtub twice. The first time, Amber got along swimmingly with the male and Lucas never exited his pouch. I separated them, waited a week.

Second time, Amber still got along swimmingly. Dosen't care too much about each but some mutual grooming and pouch enter/snuggling.

Lucas went ballistic. Crawlier into a mutual pouch for the trio, noticed the male somehow, and bit him. I separated Lucas but Amber and the male are still hanging out in the tub. Lucas is back in his cage with the male's pouch. It just looks like a little cut so should I put neosporin or anything on it?

And what should I do now? Half the pair loves the male, half hates him. :/

we put gliders into tub with NOTHING, just them, if they settle down and get
along then we add a clean, scent free sleeping pouch. see how they get along
inside it. (this is also done at daytime when they sleepy).
we had one failure, gus would not except two gliders that used to be in the
colony and had returned after a few years. so we had to rehome the two gliders.
gus is very bossy alpha of the colony, during treat time I have to watch him
cause he gets aggressive if to close to other gliders so I keep him slightly away.
this is usually only during LIVE mealworm treat time.
but if your male is a strong alpha he may NOT want another male in the colony.
specially a unneutered one.

I would try to only introduce the two males, scent free tub, be ready for a
fight, no pouch. maybe do some more pouch swap before this introduction swap
sleeping pouch every 2 days. in the end if it fails you can't put them together.
