New Glider Smells Very Very VERY Strong
I have had two gliders for a little over a year now, one neutered male and a female. I recently got another neutered male from a reputable breeder. He's about 12 weeks OOP, and we've had him for almost two weeks. My exotic vet gave him a clean bill of health. I've been housing him in a separate cage. Multiple attempts to introduce him to my older two have failed and the older male is particularly aggressive towards the new one. I have been pouching swapping, but it doesn't seem to be helping much.
One thing that's hard to miss though is that this new little one is very, very smelly. My older two have a musky smell but it's not that noticeable unless you get near their cage or smell their pouch directly. This new one smells like a combination of urine and decaying wood, and the smell fills up the entire room he's in. I think this may be contributing to his lack of reception by my other two. I'm at a loss as to why he smells so bad. It's not getting better either.
I'm thinking about bringing him back to the vet for another checkup, but I wanted to get any input from experienced owners here first.
