Quarantine?

 Quarantine?

Hi guys I'm new on here and still not sure how everything works haha. I just had some questions about quarantining new gliders. Do you need to quarantine gliders if they came in a pair together? What's the purpose of quarantining them? Thanks for your help :)

your welcome. If you have any more questions post them under the categories under the glider gossip tab above, it will likely get seen by more people. A lot of members don't read journal entries so you will get more responses and quicker replies there

no, if they were already introduced and living together there is no need to quarantine them. The purpose is to prevent passing parasites from any new gliders you plan on introducing to gliders you already have, and to give the gliders all time to get used to each others scents before you introduce them. Gliders are territorial animals you can't just put a new glider in with an established colony, they can and do fight, cause severe injuries and even death.
