Even though I knew my sugar gliders knew how to open the latch on their cage I was 99.9% sure my idea to secure was enough. All side door were zip tied, bottom grate was zip tied to frame, 2 front doors had a clip (similar to mountain climbing clip). I kept them in glider escape proof room for last 6 months and thought all was well. Yesterday morning I saw cage latch was open and the space created until clip caught was wide enough for escape. They knocked things down and I see evidence of glider fun all over the room but LUCKILY they were both in pouch when I checked. What do others use to secure latches that are easy and fast to open/close?

depends on the cage? what kind of cage do you have?

lol to cute mine have never escaped of tried to

I'm glad they both returned to their pouch! That would have been scary having a lost glider! You have zip ties... I'm not sure what else you can use. I know some people have used plastic clamps to keep their cage doors closed. I'm not sure where you could get them, but I imagine Walmart would be a good place to start looking.

I'm assuming you have a custom PVC cage. Correct me if I'm wrong. If so, there is a flap latch that you can screw onto the doors. It's hard to explain, on one side there's a metal flap that folds over onto a key shaped knob that you twist to lock. I'll try to post a pic since thats a terrible explanation.

It's not a PVC cage. It's a regular 6 foot tall aviary cage with two big double doors in front and 2 small ones on each side.
