Housing pet Sugar gliders can be a challenging endeavor. If you are a new sugar glider owner, and are in the market for a Sugar glider cage ... then your choices are vast. There are many websites that offer products that they refer to as 'Sugar glider cages'. Unfortunately many of these cages are improper for housing pet Sugar gliders over extended periods of time (their lifetime).

Many cages currently offered by 'fly-by-night' websites, are too small, not sturdy enough, or have doors that are too small to fit an exercise wheel. Yes they may be large enough to squeeze a Sugar glider into ... but not what is suggested for long term housing for these active animals. Because of the reduced pricing on these cages, you may be tempted to impulsively buy one, if you do, and save yourself a few bucks ... you are making a poor choice for your pet, and you pet will pay the price for years to come.

For about $150.00 (delivered), you can purchase a high quality, well made Sugar glider cage. One that provides plenty of room, is sturdy enough to last, and has the properly sized doors (See Brisbane Cage on our website). This cage will last for years, is easy to clean, and will give you peace of mind after your have made your selection, and placed your pet 'suggie' in the cage.

A good cage size for a pair of sugar gliders is 24 inches deep by 24 inches wide by 36 inches tall. Larger is always better, keeping in mind that height is important for the gliders. The spacing of the wire on your Sugar glider cage should be no more than 1/2 inch by 1 inch. A sugar glider cage also needs to have things inside to stimulate exercise and play, add climbing branches, climbing ropes, nest pouches, forage toys etc.
