Sasha's advice for choosing a cage for a sugar glider.
Make sure the bars in the cage are small enough so that a glider like me cannot escape. We had this problem initially when my parents adopted me. I was small enough to fit through the bars and believe me I knew how to and it didn't take long to figure it out. Before long I was escaping the cage every night through the bars in the top! What adventures I had while Mike, Angie and the kids were asleep. One morning I had made it back to my parents bedroom. Mike was making up the bed and stepped on me accidentally. He didn't even know I was there. Ouch. Then another night I made it onto the bar and ate some chocolate covered oreos that a family friend had made mom for Christmas.
Also, make sure you tie down any doors that I can open. My paws know exactly how to open them. I can also figure out latches!!
The best thing is for you to build me a special cage! The bigger the better so that I can practice my gliding technique. I prefer a taller cage to a wider one. The cage my dad built for me is 54"h x 24"w x 17"d. I love it!!! Plenty of play room.
