By cage sets I mean the fleece ones that have hammocks, nesting pouches, etc.

At least 2. So you can switch them out to wash.

You will need at least two pouches for your gliders to sleep in - one in use and one in the wash on laundry day.

I use a 3 pouch rotation so I can keep two pouches in each of my 3 cages.

My gliders almost always sleep together but once in a while one will choose to sleep in the spare pouch. Sooner or later the whole colony will switch to the second pouch - then I take the other one out to be washed and put in the spare so they still have 2 to choose from.

When they move again to another pouch I switch out the dirty one for the clean one again.

I do not use the hammocks or other items usually sold as a cage set - I do make my own pouches in sets of 3 for each cage. Rotating the pouches reduces the wear and tear but I have diggers that like to make holes in their pouches so I end up replacing each set after a couple months.
