Since using that big cage didn't work, I am using a different method. If there are fewer flying squirrels per cage, breeding success may be increased. So, Scalisti and Orchid will be together in the medium cage, while Caramel, Nibbles and Rakita are in a smaller one. Hopefully this will allow Scalisti and Orchid to be like "hey, there's more room here now. So let's have babies!" They will also be given vitamins, including, and most importantly, extra calcium.
This is Orchid, my 9-year-old female and most experienced mother.

Dear Squirrelman,
several years ago I rescued a southern flying squirrel from my cats. We built her a fairly large habitat in the yard (20'x15'), because she had permanent injuries and could not be released into the wild. After looking into it and discovering that they are very social creatures we got two more to keep her company. In the last three years she only had one litter last year. But last night we went to visit her (she and her family are usually fed during the day) and to our dismay there were over 15
squirrels scampering about.They all appeared very healthy and beautiful. You are welcomed to have as many as you want. Tell us how to safely send them to you and we will.
Sincerely,

would like to know what do you think about the relationship between hawks and squirrels.
And if you are against falconry ( hunting squirrels with hawks). :)
Hello. And Bye.
At the risk of sounding ignorant, in your experience and knowledge is it okay to breed an Eastern flying squirrel with a Southern? No additional risks due to type?
Well, the "Eastern" flying squirrel isn't really a species. They are referred to as the Northern and Southern flying squirrels. Maybe that's what you mean. I've only heard rumors of successful breedings between Northern and Southern flying squirrels.
