I would go with a large sturdy cage or Congo for 5 gliders.

My cages (no longer available) are very close in size to these but 6 inches shorter and they house colonies of 3, 5 and 6 gliders just fine. I have two Stealth wheels and 3 sections of Ferret tunnels in each cage along with a rotating variety of floor and hanging toys.

It is easy to wheel them out the back door - I clean the wheels and tunnels in place when I clean the cage with soap and water and the hose.

I towel dry the cage then leave it in the sun for an hour or so to fully dry.

Get a critter nation.
7ft+ tall.
They're well worth the money.
I rearrange mine all the time

You'd probably find a good deal on ferret nation .com for around $200 then if you want it 3 stories like mine you'd have to buy the add on unit for about an extra $150.
Although I didn't know ferret nation had it I bought mine at my local pet smart for a higher price unfortunately.
Also I forgot to mention if for some reason you buy 2 from ferret nation I believe you get a discounted price.

Just make sure you do not buy the actual Ferret Nation cage. That cage has bar spacing big enough for a glider to wiggle out of.

Thanks. I think I'm going with the Critter Nation Double Unit Cage. However the bar spacing is 1/2"..isn't that too big?

It is a great choice cage!
The bar spacing is not too big. 1/2 inch is the recommended bar spacing for gliders. My glider couldn't get out even if she tried.

If you do get this cage, make sure you pay attention to putting the first floor in the cage. I accidentally put the bottom shelf in the cage and didn't realize I did that 'til the cage was done. I had to take the whooole cage apart because the bottom shelf has bar spacing too big for gliders. Just make sure you pay SPECIAL ATTENTION to assembling the cage! The floors and bottom shelf look very identical.

Apparently speak to text didn't get what I was saying! Sorry if this didn't make sense. My babies are NOT in a case, they are in a cage! Lol
