Hello guys! I'm a new suggie mom and I'm still figuring some things out so I'd like to get your advice.
I have a wonderful 4 month old boy and I'm about to neuter him. I want to get him a girl pal (and I don't want them to breed), so I'm wondering whether she will feel comfortable next to him when she has her estrus cycle. Also, how do girls behave during their heat cycle? Do they suffer when they don't have an intact male around (like female cats etc)? Would you recommend getting a neutered male instead?

P.S. I know you're not supposed to spay girls and I'd never do such a thing!

P.P.S. I would prefer getting a girl because I want to own both a boy and a girl :)

your P.S. its not you that would spay a female but the vet, I have read its
very dangerous given the small organs, so any vet that would do this would be
a very very bad vet.

ok. so I have 3 females with 3 neutered males. all happy and healthy.
sometimes with females in heat the boys still try to do stuff, but it has never
been a problem, my 6 have been together about 4 years. with the oldest almost 6
years old I think. Again, I have not notice any suffering of my female gliders,
I have seen them a little more noisy.
I think it doesn't matter if you have 2 neutered boys or a boy and girl.
you should be fine either way.
when my gliders sleep they all sleep together 98% of the time. then sometimes
I will fine all 3 girls sleeping separate, or I will find 2 boys off and away, or
I find a boy and girl separate. no real knowledge why. I give them 3 pouches and
they have made sleeping area in ball pit they love at night for naps, and a breeding
box. most of they time they sleep in one pouch. then sometimes pow!! all are in
another pouch for a week or 2. then suddenly they are all back to fav. pouch.
