The cage that came with your sugar glider is most likely too small. Sugar gliders need space to glide and play. The largest cage you can find to buy is probably the smallest they should have. The minimum size your cage should be is 34x24x24 or 40x21x21, the more gliders in your cage the larger it should be, and the bars of your cage should be horizontal if possible because sugar gliders like to climb.

It is recommended to cover the floor grating of a typical cage with plastic square mesh to give the animals more places to hold and rest. http://www.sugarglider.com/glidergossip/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=17960
