Hi All,There is a male joey advertised for sale on Gumtree - he is six weeks old.....I am maybe looking for a friend for Cherub but I have read in more than one place that joeys should stay wth their parents until at least eight weeks old - please can somebody clarify this for me.Here is the link to the advert:[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]Thank you!

Hi Cherub,
You are quite correct - a joey should never be taken from its parents at such a young age.
At that stage, they are learning to eat on their own and their parents are teaching them vital foraging skills as well as a number of other life skills.....
What are the other comments out there?
Cherub, my advice would be to hang in there and keep looking - I am sure the right glider will come along when you are ready to get Cherub a mate.
Is anyone going to follow this up?

The breeder registered on this forum and was at the gathering, but she did not take my calls or replied to my email. Hopefully she will post soon.
She is a nice lady, maybe she just doesn't know how crucial it is for the joeys to stay with mom and dad a bit longer.
