Hi there,
Not sure if I’m posting this in the right place but a little while ago my male glider got a pretty bad Dominance/ mating bite from his female cage mate while I was out of town (he’s fixed, she isn’t) and has taken a good bit of time to heal. All went well there but I had to separate them during the healing time due to the severity of the bite, now he’s close to fully healed and I want to put them back together but I’m unsure if I need to take any special steps to get them back in the same cage without issues or a repeat bite
Unfortunately since I was out of town I don’t know exactly what made her go at him like that, they usually don’t fight just some crabbing here and there, any advice would be appreciated

females don't get fixed.
I would reintroduce in a neutral bath tub and see how they do. I have never
had one glider kill another, so I'm lucky and happy, but I have rehomed some that
I found out killed their cagemate at a later date, this is confusing cause both
groups were happy together for a long time at my home. with NO history of ANY
injuries. so I tend to believe the living conditions might be very important
to a happy colony, toys, running wheels, large cage, time out of cage, good
food, good snacks, etc etc.
