I just recently got four sugar gliders off Craig's list. They came with a cage that is roughly 3 1/2' tall, 2 1/2' long, and 1 1/2' wide. I found a website saying that is enough space for three to four, but I was wondering if that really is or not. I also wanted to know that if I rescued four more sugar gliders, and they were all willing to make peace and share a cage, how big would the cage need to be to house eight? Thank you.

Honestly I don't know! When you get your other gliders you will need to keep them separate for a 30 quarantine period while you get them tested for parasites, so you will need multiple cages. Hopefully someone here with a larger colony can help you with cage sizing.

What size do you think I would need for eight gliders? I was looking into buying or making one that is 30" wide, 48"long, and 72" tall. Do you think that would work?

Your current cage is way too small for four gliders! Take a look at this setup by Minnesota Zoo (one of the forum members).
