prob a younger one................8 weeks or so. you have to quarantine in another room for at least 30 days so she would be about 3 months old before you can start intros like trading pouches, toys, etc.     a vet visit is strongly recommended for at least a fecal float and smear after you get your gliders and every 6 months to a year after that.   Several gliders are testing positive for round worms and variations of round worms.

Where are you getting your Sugar Gliders from??? I just made a quick visit to www.glidercentral.net (Glider Central) and clicked on the red button labeled Emergency at the top of the sight, if you scroll down it will come to a thread that says "GC Vet Database" Then you have to click "North America", "United States", "Wisconsin", it comes up to a bunch of cities, and you must click on the one that is closest to your area, there isn't a "Osseo listed", the link is http://www.glidercentral.net/links/page ... index.html

I did a quick MapQuest of all the cities that they have listed, Glendale is 1 hour and 25 minutes away from where you are located. If you will be in that area, that wouldn't be a bad vet to make an appointment with. It's called...

Animal Emergency Center & Specialty Services
2100 W. Silver Spring Drive
Glendale, WI 53209
(414) 540-6710
Open 24/7

They deal with Sugar Gliders, you shuold give them a call and see if they could set up an appointment for you and your Gliders, remember, any new Gliders should be quarantined for 30 days before being introduced to your other female.

Thanks.
Lauren
Hope I've helped!
