Sugar Glider Sugar Bear Cages 3
Depending on the age of your sugar glider sugar bear, you should choose the right cage. A wire mesh that can be grasped both horizontally and vertically should be used for the young sugar gilders, as long vertical bars like in a bird cage can hurt their tender feet.
During the bonding phase of your sugar glider sugar bear that occurs generally between 8-12 weeks out of the pouch, smaller starter cages should be preferred. These starter cages enable the sugar glider sugar bear to jump and play around without fear of falling. If sugar glider sugar bears don’t get something to grasp on to firmly, then they become very less active. Such starter cages help you in the bonding process with your sugar glider sugar bear and also enable you and even young children to easily pick up your pet without chasing it around the whole cage and stressing it out.
After they grow up, you can get larger cages that resemble a bird’s cage. The cage requires at most ½ inch bar spacing and a safety latch on each door so that your sugar glider sugar bear doesn’t escape. It is essential to avoid the low quality cages even if they cost a little more, since the coating invariably comes off and your sugar glider sugar bear can even die of zinc poisoning by being exposed to the bare bars. A good quality cage such as Jung-L-Gym™ cage from Pocket Pets will come with strong epoxy coating which can last the entire life of your sugar glider sugar bear.
To make sure your sugar glider sugar bear stays warm, you should use a heat rock inside the cage, because the most comfortable temperature for them is 75-80 degrees that is less than the room temperature in general. Keeping the cage next to a window can cause extreme variations in temperature between day and night, and so should be avoided. Household toxins from the kitchen can be very harmful to your sugar glider sugar bear, so don’t keep it in the kitchen.
At night you may like to remove the noise making toys. Buy a good quality exercise wheel as cheap ones make a lot of noise too.
