Cage Comparison

The following information is the opinion of Glider Nursery and is based from either my personal experience and knowledge of specific cages, or that of others with the same or similar experience. 

Here we will discuss the aspects of different types and models of sugar glider cages.  It is our hope that this page will help you when deciding to purchase a new cage for your sugar glider.

Tips for Cages

  • 18" x 30" x 36" minimum - bigger is better!
  • NO more than 1/2" bar spacing, even 5/8" a glider can escape
  • Consider the size of the cage and your doorways for moving to clean
  • Secure all feeder doors permantely closed as many gliders have figured out how to open them and escape the safety of their cage.  This can have fatal results, so a small ziptie can save a life!
  • Make sure the main door is large enough for a 12" wheel to go easily inside
  • Solid tops (metal) are more difficult to hang cage items from
  • Make sure you can reach the back of the cage to move items and clean
  • Consider the quality of the cage, spend more up front to save $$ in the long run!
