Housing sugar gliders isn't always convenient. They require spacious cages (which can be expensive), need toys for stimulation, wheels for exercise, and a variety of fleece pouches and hammocks. Ideal room temperature is between 70-85 degrees (fahrenheit) |
|
Minimum recommended cage size is 24"x24"x36". Of course, bigger is always better. When looking for housing for your sugar gliders, height is the most important dimension (taller is better than wider).

Wheels provide exercise and entertainment to pet sugar gliders. Unfortunately, most wheels on the market are made for rodents and are not glider safe. The two most popular (and safest) sugar glider wheels are the Stealth and Wodent wheels. |

Sugar gliders should have a couple of places to sleep in their cage. Sleeping pouches are most common and are excellent for the task. The material of choice for pouches (and other fabric made items) is fleece, as it does not fray. Materials that fray present a health hazard to gliders as their nails may get stuck in it (gliders have lost digits and limbs in this manner). Most parrot and baby toys are safe for gliders to play with. Do use common sense when selecting toys for the cage. Some toys should only be used under supervision.
