Good morning,

A little background. I have 5 gliders. 1 brother/sister pair, a single female and a pair of male Joey's. The single female I took in because her cage mate passed away and the owner did not want to have to raise a new glider so she rehomed her to me. It's been a few weeks and while I have introduce her to the brother/sister pair.. it's been so-so. There is no fighting between them but my single female is quite smaller and likely younger than my brother/sister pair(age is unknown as they were rescues) and the male in particular is quite large and really aggressive in rubbing his scent onto things and the single female that it stresses her out and she ends up trying to avoid the brother/sister, so I have been super hesitant to actually cage them together. Now, I have gotten two male Joey's just on Saturday and they are super playful, and roughly the same size as my single female and I am hoping to be able to house the 3 of these together if I cannot get all 5 to house together (which is hopefully the end goal here). I know we are supposed to wait 30 days for quarantine and to give them time to adjust but my single female is losing weight and getting a little bit depressed (not eating, playing as much). I know all my sugar gliders are parasite free and healthy as they've all been recently vet checked. I'm wondering, how soon can I introduce my Joey's and single female? I want to do it as soon as possible so my poor girl has some cage mates.

I would start now. True quarantine can only happen if the animals are housed in a different building. With her stressing it is in her best interest to do introductions sooner than later.
