I have 2 joeys that are 2 months old. The one glider i had to hand raise, cuz his mom rejected him. Well i just put his brother in with him now and it seemed alittle like the rejected joey was climbing all over him and kinda bitting him at least i think. And he also was going under him looking like he was trying to find a nipple or something. I just wanna know what to do cuz i dont want him to be alone and i know i cant but the rejected joey with the parent cuz they might kill him. The other glider just sat there and looked alittle scared. The rejected joey was climbing all over him. So any suggestions thanks.

My guess is that the rejected joey thinks the other joey is his mother. He is probably trying to nurse and ride on the other joeys back just like he would with his mother.
Are these joeys related? Did you just get the other joey recently? If so, he/she is very young to be taken away from it's mother. He/she should still be nursing.

No there brothers and the same age both born on the same exact day. He bits on his ear and then keeps going under his stomach. Does look like trying to nurse.

see what mom will do w/him. there may be a spat,@ first,but wait it out & see if mom will take him back,now. if not, you will need to keep him away from her until he is older, if ever @ all. crawling all over his brother like that,could be freaking the other one out,too. JMO
