Toys!!

you are advices to put in some toys in the cage for the gliders to play. it is also VERY IMPORTANT to have a wheel in there for them as they need to exercise. The minimum size of the wheel should be 11 inches in diameter. Anything smaller would injure them. The Wodent Wheel Senior is highly recommended.

Nail O Matic inserts are useful to be placed in the wheel as they assist to keep the nails filed.


 Toys For your Suggies





Bonding Pouches!!

Sugar glider bonding pouches. Carry your pet Sugar Glider along with you using these Sugar glider bonding pouches.





Pouches!!

Sugar Gliders are nocturnal and need a place to curl up and go to sleep during the day. Sleeping pouches are ideal for them as they are made of suggie friendly material and reverse inside stitching so that the seams or threads are not exposed for your suggies to chew or get caught into.

Gliders like to "move house" occasionally and so it is a good idea to provide of pouches in various attractive designs for you to choose from with all of them being made from suggie friendly material and reverse inside stitching.

Housing and Equipment!!

Sugar Glider cages have to be NO SMALLER than 20 x 20 x 36 inches high. The bigger the cage, the better. NEVER USE SMALL HAMSTER CAGES AS THEIR HOUSING!! the gaps between the wires should not be more than 1/4 inch apart as they would be able to escape if the gaps are too wide.

Example of Sugar Glider Cages.
