Glider Proofing Checklist |

Some
common cage problems to look out for!
- Always check the
seams on your pouches when you wash them, if there are lose
strings, cut them and make sure there are NO little loops of
thread waiting to come apart. If the pouch has a lot of
strings, toss it-gliders like new things too1
- Wheels:
Only Rowdy, Wodent and Flex wheels have been designed with
sugar gliders in mind. Do not use a wire wheel-Serious injury
can be caused. There is even a new invention out, by Suncoast
Sugar Gliders that trims their nails as they run!
- Do not use any
kind of wood chip bedding - papers towels, plain newsprint,
puppy pads, newspaper (Black and white only) are some
preferable cage liners to wood chips/shavings. They can cause
upper respiratory problems among other things.
- Make sure that a
dime cannot fit through the bars, in any direction.
- Zip tie doors
that you will not use, as gliders can open doors!
