Welcome Peter & Kim! I know the southern flying squirrel usually has 2-3 babies, but can have up to 6. Not sure about the northerns though. But check here: www.flyingsquirrels.com
It's a great site with alot of helpful information about these charming little squirrels! :)

:wave123 Welcome Peter and Kim, glad you joined. Lots of good information and stories. If the answers aren't here they will be able to tell you where to go to find them. Had a southern flying squirrel but don't know much about the northern ones, I don't think much difference except maybe size but check out the links Naturegirl provided, lots of good info.
