Gliders are not monogamous. Although they do bond with each other, males will breed with any female that goes into heat around him. Also, animals don't have a sense of morals likes humans do, thus they see nothing wrong with inbreeding.

They're not? That's news to me. I was always told they were. :o

Correct me if I am wrong, but I seem to remember that in nature the males move to a new colony every 2 years to prevent inbreeding.

Ive heard that too. Maybe the reason they do inbreed now is because they are captive and we prevent them from doing it.

I totally disagree with this statement! There are animals that will mate for life & humans who do NOT! Also there are many examples of humans "inbreed" with their children! Please don't put humans so high in the pedestal. There is a reason why we need prisons & the death penalty!

I wish there would be an in depth study done on sugar gliders. Like they do on other species on animal planet or nat geo... That would be awesome to see what the dynamics of the sugar glider could be. Maybe in different family groups the females or males dictate the group. Any one have that kind of connection, to get the documentary made?

Oh yeah, I would totally love to see a National Geographic episode on wild gliders. Wouldn't that be great?

http://video.nationalgeographic.com/vide...e/sugar_glider/ And yes, my understanding is that males move from colony to colony but I do not know that they do it on any kind of specific time rotation. That is why, in my opinion, you sometimes see what we consider " bonded pairs" start to squabble after a couple of years and sometimes these squabbles turn into downright fights and they have to be separated. I've seen that happen here with 1 pair needing to be separated, 1 quad needing to be separated, and now I have the remaining pair from the aforementioned quad and a neutered male housed with his adult daughter who are starting to squabble as well. Others I have had together for years with no issues at all.

Nancy, I believe the estimate is 150 feet? But I am not certain...
