Captive Habitat

Cage Set Up: Click to enlargeThe most important thing you can do for your sugar gliders is to mimic their natural habitat to the best of your ability.  In the wild, gliders chew the bark of tree branches looking for sap, climb and glide through the treetops, and go up and down vines.  This is the play environment to re-create in our habitats.

Sugar gliders are gliding animals, and should, therefore, have enough space for freedom of movement (ie, gliding), in their cage.  THE ONLY EXCEPTION is for breeders or rescuers whose gliders spend 4 hours or more per night outside of the cage!

To develop the proper sugar glider habitat, we suggest you start out with the basic cage, add enrichment accessories, and finally, several places for the colony to sleep.
