Sugar Glider Sugar Bear Cages 4
Your sugar glider sugar bear should be kept in a cage that depends on its age and your space availability. Younger sugar glider sugar bears should be able to grasp it both vertically and horizontally and therefore special wire mesh cages should be preferred. Avoid long vertical bars like in a bird cage, as their tender feet can get hurt. Your sugar glider sugar bear should be kept in a special starter cage during its bonding phase, which is when it is 8-12 weeks old. This is important because these special cages enable the sugar glider sugar bear to jump around, play and be active without actually a fear of falling. This is essential since if your sugar glider sugar bear doesn’t get something to hold on to firmly, then it will become significantly inactive. The bonding process with your sugar glider sugar bear can be significantly hastened with these starter cages and you (even young kids) can pick up your sugar glider sugar bear easily without having to chase it all around and make it stress out.
Once your sugar glider sugar bear gets to around 4-6 months, you should get them larger aviary bird cages. To make sure your sugar glider sugar bear never escapes, the cage must have at most ½ inch bar spacing and a safety latch on each door. You should choose a good quality cage like Jung-L-Gym™ cage from Pocket Pets with strong epoxy coating, because these cages can last a lifetime. Also, cheap cages can cause lead poisoning leading to the death of your sugar glider sugar bear by being exposed to the bare bars after the coating has been flaked out, so they must be avoided at all costs.
Since the optimal temperature for your sugar glider sugar bear is 75-80 degrees, which is less than the room temperature, you should use a heat rock inside the cage. This is a completely safe option. Your sugar glider sugar bear should not be exposed to extreme temperature conditions, and so don’t place the cage next to a window. Your sugar glider sugar bear should be protected from household toxins so never place the cage in the kitchen.
Sugar glider sugar bears are very silent but can make noise from their toys, so remove these at night. Cheap exercise wheels should be avoided as they can make a lot of noise too.
