One of my eight year old female gliders just passed. Just last week we brought home two male Joey's who are close to 12 weeks out of pouch but not Brothers. 

A challenge I have now is to introduce them all. Should I introduce one at a time or all together at once? What would be your approach? Should I give the older one time to grieve? Wait a little bit until we have some with bonded with the new gliders? Our Leu glider(Boo) is coming along really nice and easy going. Our mosaic glider(Tazz) seems like he's going to take some time. They are in separate cages but right next to each other at this point. The older one is really curious already.

Hi and

I'm so sorry to hear you lost a glider.

Here is a post which is long, but very helpful when it comes to introductions:

It's a good idea to quarantine the new joys for 30 days to make sure they are healthy.


Have you considered having the joeys neuteted?

I guess that successful introductions will take take patience and time just like bonding with them will. The family is concerned that Bella's passing will take a toll Rose. We are a little less concerned now that we see Rose eating fine and her curiosity towards the Joeys.

Thanks for the link, great post about introductions!

We are definitely getting the boys neutered. That should calm Tazz down a little bit at the least. The to new Joeys, Taz and Boo, have totally opposite personalities. Tazz is a Big crabber, hopefully that will start to decrease in the coming days.

Dawn has given you some great information. Start swapping pouches and do introductions once you get the boys neutered.
