I was wondering what the ideal light patterns are for sugar gliders? I know that bright light at any time can be harmful for their eyes, but how much light should be in a room in a given day and for how long?

Well, I think that since sugar gliders are nocturnal, no light is really necessary during the day. It is probably best to put them in a room with a window or two as long is there isn't a cold draft. You don't want it to FREEZE! smile
At night a light from another room that can be seen from the occupied room would probably best at night when you are sleeping. I am no expert, but that is what I do. raspberry

Thanks! Mala, my glider, is happy to have a little light on too. I find that a low red light is great over night. wink
