 What is the deal

My gliders keep fighting I got a Joey a month ago and they are almost perfect they sleep in the same pouch together eat together all with out fighting but night they trade off but one will hisses and the other will attack each other they don't hurt each other like biting and leaving a mark but Chase and crab at each other they only don't at night too are they play fighting or just don't get along how don't change it

Yes I have been separating them when they fight then they bark I put them back Thunder good for an hour or two but the fight again so I've been repeating the process and staying up all night to no avail

keep a very close eye on them things can escalate very fast. Do you have an extra cage if you need to separate? i've had this happen with two girls it went on like that for about a month then it escalated and one got pretty hurt, facial injuries, bites, missing fur from bites... Don't wait until you have an injury before you separate. Be prepared for injuries though, get some vetericyn vf, have spare cage ready etc...

they're both female they've been to the vet the cage is huge I could fit four sugar gliders in it comfortably but there is only two they don't have any food aggression and they tolerate each other a lot just at night couple times they will fight but they won't hurt each other they just Crab and Chase each other

gliders don't play fight, they are either establishing dominance, or they don't really get a long, or the cage is to small, or there is food aggression, or there is something medically wrong with one or both of them, or they are both intact males, etc. There could be lots of reasons they are bickering at night. Have that been vet checked and fecals done?
