Housing
Considerations

Picture of Sugar Glider


Housing

Housing should be as large as possible, at least 2 cubic feet in size, and have wire sides with spacing no more than 1 inch by 1/2 inch to prevent escaping or sugar gliders becoming entangled. Include a tamper-free cage door lock as well. The enclosure should have a wire bottom and pull out tray for easy cleaning.

Environmental temperature should be around 70 degrees and the enclosure should not be near bright lights or direct sunlight. Sugar gliders need filtered light or a shaded area (they are nocturnal).

Provide a nest box high in the cage, and line it with shredded newspaper or paper toweling for comfort. Also provide branches from nontoxic trees such as apple or citrus for climbing and chewing. Do not locate food and water crocks under the branches to prevent contamination.

Frequently clean the enclosure and nest box so feces and urine do not accumulate.

Note

Sugar gliders should not have access to pesticides, cedar shavings, branches from toxic trees, bright light or direct sunlight, excessive heat or cold, or unsupervised freedom in the home.
