Sugar Glider Sugar Bear Toys 3
Sugar glider sugar bears are very fond of toys, as they are very intelligent animals. Human toys are generally safe for a sugar glider sugar bear as well.
However if you want to shop for toys, select those that do not contain lots of loose strings which can strangle your pet. Also go in for toys with a longer life, that are clean and make less noise. For this purpose, plastic and stainless steel toys are the best, since they last for a long time and can be maintained clean since they can be washed and cleaned. Wooden toys on the other hand, may be cheaper but have a lesser life and absorb urine and other materials, which make them smell.
At night, it is good to remove all noise making toys like bells from the cage to have a silent house. In general, the exercise wheel will be the most favorite toy of your sugar glider sugar bear as it burns away excess energy on the wheel. It is not advisable to buy hamster type wheels because sugar glider sugar bears have longer tails that can be stuck in the wheel. Instead you should consider wheels like Run-o-round™ from Pocket Pets that are made especially for sugar glider sugar bears. Exercise balls can also be an interesting toy but should be used carefully, avoiding proximity to stairs, pools and depths.
Plastic 1 inch chains are another inexpensive yet exciting toys for a sugar glider sugar bear, that replaces natural branches and vines and a way to create infinite combinations of vines and bridges that can constantly be changed. You can also take a ¼ inch nylon rope full of knots and tie it in the cage. Your pet would in all probability love knots and untie the thread soon enough. In the initial bonding phase, avoid the use of excessive toys as it hinders in the bonding process. However, you can use toys at night in the cage.
