I have 2 beautiful healthy and happy gliders, cosmo and molly. unfortunately though they have breeded twice and despite all efforts, research, and planning they have rejected both joeys. we have done extensive research on diets making sure molly was producing the right milk, took measures to ensure the environment in the cage was neither too hot or cold. Did we do something wrong? We have them separated currently so we can figure out if we are doing something wrong. Both passings have been very hard for us and we worry it may affect them as well.

I'm not a breeder or very experienced, so this is simply book learning, but I've read in a couple sources that (like humans) some gliders are just bad parents & will not make good breeders as a result.

We would need to look at several factors.
- How old is your pair?
- How long have you had them?
- What diet are they being fed?
- How many times have they rejected the joeys?
- What age were the joeys when rejected?
- Were they cannibalized?
As posted it is possible they will not make good parents or will not be good parents together, however, the answers to the questions may give us some insight.

Karen is right some do not want to be parents or be parents with that mate.
I would pair them with different mates if it was me to see who doesn't want to be a parent.

This sounds like a good decision for this pair, and it will let them live happy as a bonded couple.
You have a plan for the future, and we wish you much success with that plan.
Still look forward to seeing you on the board
