We had a mother/daughter pairing as well. We bought them from a local breeder when the "mother" was about 2 1/2 years old, and the "daughter" was a little over a year. The trio started out very well. Everyone got along, and after about 6 months they both had joeys in pouch. The "mother" became very defensive and protective a few weeks before the joeys were due to come oop. She would attack her daughter and prevent her from eating no matter how many feeding stations were provided. We ended up separating them in the end. I never have any luck with trios, so we keep everyone in pairs. I heard of so many trios working out, then going bad, or never working out to begin with. I have found it better safe than sorry. Anita is right though, it really does depend on the gliders. Some have had some luck with trios.

just like in any trio you run the risk of them not accepting eachothers joeys. Even twin sisters sometimes don't work. I have a trio of unrelated females that do work and I have tried other trios that don't. All you can do is wait and see and then seperate them if you have to or get the male neutered so they can stay together. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

This trio of gliders... mother and two daughters (leuc hets) has had to be seperated. Issues of baby stealing.
Trios... wither they be very young females put together or mother's left with a daughter or two.... do not work out.
Only reason I can understand why someone wants to put two or more females together is to save on cage space and house less males or to move a male around to other females and this last one... causes another set of multiple stress issues as well. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
Gliders... kept in "pairs of one male and one female" when breeding.... remain healthy and breed longer if kept with thier orig mates when paired to permanent partners due to the fact the pair becomes a very "stable" unit. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumb.gif" alt="" />

I've got two trios right now and they have gone great thus far *knocks on wood* I think that it really depends on the nature of the gliders. The trios that I have, one is two half sisters, the other gals are not related but, they've been together since 8 weeks. The trios I have oddly squabble less than a couple of my pairs, lol.
With trios it's just always uncertain though <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ohwell.gif" alt="" />

I appreciate your input and I see that you haven't had success with trios, but I don't believe that it can be forecasted with certainty that my trios will end with grim results.
With any sort of animal breeding, lack of success can stem from a number of causes. Social structure can no doubt be a cause, but so can physical and mental conditions of each individual which over time progress, develop, or decay.
Different situations can give rise to rejection and cannibalism. I personally think that a glider that is a colonial animal should be able to properly maintain a trio situation. I'm sure that there won't be a 100% success rate with trios, but there isn't a 100% success rate with pairs either. It is clear that trios are a risky situation, but with mine, I will remain optimistic until given a reason to feel otherwise. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumb.gif" alt="" />
