Make sure you zip tie all of those little sliding doors. Gliders CAN and WILL open them! Are the main doors sliding? I can't tell from the pic.

Also, dump the wodent wheels ASAP. They aren't safe.

Other than that, it looks pretty good!

I tied all the doors I'm not using down and I locked the ones I do use,also I tied down the wheels,what other kind of wheels do I get? They have had these ones all along

it looks great they will have fun in it.

Raptor wheels from mygliderwheelsandmore.com are good. I have 3 of them.

With the Wodents, glider's tails can get ripped off. There was a thread not too long ago about it happening. Better to be safe than to be sorry, IMO.

I like the stealth wheels....I have four.

Resa

I like Stealth & Custom Cruiser.. & it was very good to tie the little doors down! We had to put lanyard clips on all of ours because Tachi & Brantley are escape artists Lol

They aren't safe? Never heard that...

Wodent wheels have been known to tear tails off :(

I have never heard of the wodent wheels doing that, I have had mine fortwo years and have never had an issue!
Love you cage set very cute

The wodent wheels have tail guards. I haven't had any flesh wounds or amputations with mine. I had a stealth wheel attached to the side of their cage before. Well all 3 started to play on it at once and the cage bars broke. So I ordered a new cage and am not using the stealth any longer.

bourbon is having a sale on the cruiser! til the 12th only.

Looks great. I'm sure your babies will love it!

I think even with the tail guard, tails have been ripped off. I never had problems with my wodent but i threw it out after i read that. Why chance it? I got a raptor and im never going back. You can get an eco raptor for 25$. That's a great price for a glider safe wheel (it is also MUCH quieter)

If you are interested in making your doors bigger and safer...

I have the same cage in black. If you do get a new wheel, don't get a wall mount, the bars of the cage are not strong enough to support it. Just use a floor mount on a shelf.

It looks fantastic!!! (even sideways, lol) I love your design.

Very nice & roomy, but I do agree about the wheels. How many gliders do you have? If only one, then just get 1 new wheel and see how they do with that, down the road you can always get another wheel if you need it.

I had gotten my girls a Wodent, Soon after I read a post on here about a tail loss on one, they said it had the guard on it, so I took the wheel out right away, used the one they came with. I just bought them a new wheel, I went with the Fast Track, so far I love it, and I got it within days of ordering (ordered on a Tues got it on that Sat). I imagine the others are all very nice too, they all get good reviews.

Wheels to check into:
Fast Track, Raptor, Custom Cruiser, Rapid Runners, & Stealth

This is my Wodent wheel now, I don't like to waste, lol.


I disabled it and use on floor for play box. Yesterday at cleaning, I removed the guard I was keeping in there to give them more room (still have guard incase I want to add it again).

The cages with the sliding doors are also unsafe for small animals like sugar gliders. Here is a video of why those cages are unsafe. The sliding doors can be like guillotines.

There is still a danger with the pin. EVEN with the tail guard. A glider parent posted on here about it.

A note about the Wodent Wheel, a friend of mine had one that busted whle her glider was on it. It tore deep into the gliding membrane and the glider had to suffer through 3 or 4 surgeries. They're dangerous with or without the tail guard--in more ways than one!

All this talk just makes me that much happier that I ditched the Wodent already... I never had a problem with mine (other than holing smell), but better safe than sorry in my book.

That is one tricked out chic cage. Love it!

After looking at the Raptor wheel I think I am going to purchase two with the PVC stand in pink. I am also curious to the stainless steel model.

LOVE IT!!

i dont know if its the new cage or what,but it seems like they stay up top in the left side of the cage and dont really go down to the bottom until they are ready to go in the pouch and they have only used the top wheel,the other wheel has not even been touched,but my female seems like she just likes that corner,mabye i should set it up different and use different toys,i love your setup roxy,im gonna get some different things,i have been doing 2 separate food dishes to,but i think my male goes to eat both

I had 3 of those cages. They were good in that they were light weight enough that I could get them to the shower to clean by myself! I changed the doors so they opened out instead of being guillotine doors.

I've since given them all away with various rescues.
