I am not a breeder, however I have read here and other places, and each of mine were 8-12 weeks oop when I got them. Hope you plan to keep siblings separate once pulled from parents. Sexual maturity usually happens at 12 weeks oop I believe. Dawn Be patient, and Trust your journey.... Grace Leela Marcie Fiona, Dot, Stewie Dad, Mom, Ruby Wish I could turn back time... Miss you all...

Click here for more information on sexual maturity. It is about halfway down the page. You may also be interested in our Sticky at the top of the Behavior & anatomy forum titled Glider Anatomy. ETA: All males mature at different ages, however, twelve weeks, IMO would be an exception. Watch for the scent glands to start showing. Last edited by KarenE; 11/20/19 12:16 PM.
