YOU CAN NOT PUT THREE TOGETHER AND EXPECT THEM NOT TO KILL EACH OTHER!!!
PLEASE IF YOUR GOING TO GET GLIDERS THEN GET A MALE AND FEMALE FROM DIFFERENT COLONIES OTHERWISE YOU'LL HAVE INBREEDING ON YOUR HANDS.  BEFORE YOU GET THEM MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A VET IN YOUR AREA THAT TAKES GLIDERS IN CASE OF EMERGENCIES.........AND IF YOU DON'T WANT BABIES, I SUGGEST YOU HAVE THE MALE NEUTERED. 
LEARN ALL YOU CAN BEFORE YOU GET YOUR GLIDERS SO YOU WON'T MAKE ANY SERIOUS MISTAKES...........PLEASE.

Not true... I have a trio that have been together for a year and a half.  A friend of mine has dozens of trio's... All still alive and well.....
When starting a trio, it is important to start it a very early age.  The females must be put together when they are young(8 weeks OOP to 14 weeks OOP) or even sisters.   My trio consists of 2 sisters were around a year old and I added a young male(around 5 month old) and it has worked out great....

I definately dont agree with the idea that a trio will kill each other. Its better to have opposite gender, however you have to think of babies then. I have one little girl right now and I plan on getting another in a month. I am indecided if I will get a male and or another female. If done at a young age it shouldnt de difficult for either gender.

The more the MERRIER!!!! Well, as long as you can meet the room and space requirements. I have a breeding pair, a neutered 1 y/o(er) male and a female joey all together right now. They are loving life and I have yet to see or hear a serious fight. All I hear is friendly squeeking, some bells from the toys and 3 wodent wheels spinning so fast you start to wonder how the plastic doesn't disinegrate. They share about 12 cubic feet of parrot cage though. I think you would be better off with 2 females and one male but 2 males can work if one is neutered (I am proof). My oldest male is about 3, the breeding pair is about 2 y/o, and the female joey is around 2mo.

Pardon, all those people up there seem to know of what they talk of and i was hoping you could help me. I found thid guy in edmonton and at first i wasn't going to buy his sugar gliders cause it looked like poor care but now that i've seen more pictures sent to me it looks like they're spoiled rotten. Although, they are almost two years old and i doubt thats long enough to bond them to me. But they are both boys, is this a problem? They have one big cage and two seperarte so i think they may be two that tend to scrap or something but i have Another picture where they're cuddling. If it is unadvisatory for this, two girls will be fine then, right? and once again, how old should i get them?
