If you have the time to spend with it 5 hours a day they are fine but no not all single gliders get stressed out and self mutilate and die. thats a little over drastic. I have bred them for almost 9 years so yes i would advise getting a friend but at the same time I have had singles that were single and then I tried to put them with other gliders and they just wanted to live alone
