 Hello!!:)

Hello, everyone!

I became a sugar glider mommy about a couple of years ago to a bonded pair of boys, Henry and Mort, who were around 1 1/2 years old at that time. It took a while for them to get comfortable around me, which I knew was going to happen but Mort still doesn't like me to mess with him very much and I think that's just his personality. Henry tolerates me but he doesn't like to be out of his comfort zone. A few months after getting them, I got two young sisters who turned a year old this past June and they are completely bonded to me and I adore them! We did not get them to breed because we got the boys fixed, and they also have two separate cages.
Recently, the boys have become aggressive towards one another at dinner time. Henry starts attacking Mort and I have even had to separate them. Since all of this started, I have fed them on two separate plates on different shelves of the cage. After that didn't help, I read where somebody said to have the food in the cage before they wake up but they still acted in the same way. Last night I just took Henry out and fed him in the travel cage, but when I returned him to the cage, he still crabbed and "fussed" at Mort. I was just wondering if you guys might have some suggestions for me to do or anything I might be doing wrong.

Thanks in advance!
Britt

How large is their cage? How often are they fed? What are they being fed? I hope I can help.

I wish I had more to offer, but I think feeding them separate would be the best. At least then you know that they are getting their nutrition and not competing for it. I am interested in what others have to say!
