CageA very brief primer on sugar glider cagesYou can compare the dimensions and internal space of various popular sugar glider cages on GliderGossip or do a general search for sugar glider cage. Odds are that the cage which came with your sugar glider(s) is too small for their healthy keeping. Most breeders, flea market sellers, pet shops will offer a cage that is very small. Understanding that sugar gliders are arboreal (tree dwelling), you can realize that their cage requirements might not be the same as they are for common rodents of the same size. Much like squirrels, sugar gliders live in the tree tops and commonly leap and glide large distances in the course of an evening outing. There is no real way to duplicate this in a caged environment, but one can at a minimum allow for a very large "flight", "aviary" or "tower" style of cage and then install all sorts of branches, shelves, floors, cubbies, boxes, pouches and anything else you can imagine for them to romp around on and explore. The honest truth to what kind of cage you should keep your sugar glider(s) in is simply the largest one that you can find and afford. And there are a few simple things you can do to your large bird cage to improve the quality of life for your sugar glider.
