Sugar Glider Cages

Chances are if your sugar glider came with a cage, it is probably too small. They need a large amount of room to play and glide. Most likely the largest cage you can find for you sugar gliders, will end up being the smallest size they can comfortably have. They really do need that much room to live happily and not become depressed. It is well known that sugar gliders kept in small bird cages are much more prone to health and mental issues. The minimum size your cage should be is 34×24x24 or 40×21x21, the more gliders in your cage the larger it should be, and the bars of your cage should be horizontal, because sugar gliders like to climb, and that isn’t very easy with vertical bars.

If you haven’t already purchased a sugar glider, make sure you can afford the cost of keeping them. Large cages are not cheap and can go anywhere from $250 to $650 brand new. Unless you have a pet store in your area that specializes in animals such as birds or ferrets, you may have a hard time finding a cage large enough for your sugar gliders. I have found that ebay is a good place to find cages that are both affordable and large in size.

Here are some of the newest listings on ebay. Make sure to double check the cages dimensions before you decide to purchase one! Some of the cages I have noticed say they can house sugar gliders, however are no where near large enough! Also you can select view all at the bottom to see more listings.
