A Sharp Price on a Tall Cage!
Lisa!!
I got the cage and stuff today! That cage is soo big, bigger than I
had thought, even though I had the dimensions beforehand! I feel
really ripped off by the local pet store, since a cage much
much smaller than that was $20 more that the one you shipped to me

This rectangular cage is a good value starter cage for those of you just starting with gliders or expanding your glider family.
Around here we don't really like cages that look ... well, "too cagey".
So many sugar glider cages look like modified rabbit cages and look like they belong in the backyard, not in the family room.
The criteria for our search included good value, high functionality, ample space for sugar glider activity, ease of cleaning
/ maintenance, and attractive enough to go with any décor.
This cage measures 36 inches
high, 30 inches wide, and 18 inches deep. You can see how big it is compared with the
yardstick leaning against the wall on the right in the
picture. This is the minimum size that we recommend for a suitable sugar glider habitat as they need at least this kind of space to get enough exercise and to climb and jump and play.
The cage also has six access doors which is a very nice added feature.
Five of the doors are 3.25" wide x 5" tall and designed for spaced, easy access during feeding time and play time.
There is a large door in the center of the front of the cage measuring 10" wide x 10.5" tall, making toy placement, nest box removal and stuff like that much easier.
There are three carrying handles - one on the top, and one on each end of the cage.
Included with the cage are three wooden perches (also sugar glider safe) and a pull out tray
underneath a wire bottom making cleanup a snap! We use newsprint as a
cage liner,
saving money on expensive bedding products.
Safety features include ˝ inch wire bar spacing, which is a requirement for sugar glider safety.
The black painted finish contains no zinc or lead, which could make small animals sick.
Assembly is required, but it only takes about five minutes and no
tools are required. This cage is very light in weight, which
may be a benefit to you. For example, it can be assembled and
disassembled quickly and easily making it even suitable for travel!
Well, that is if
it will fit in your car, because it is a pretty big cage! The
flip side of being light in weight is that other animals or small children in the house could
knock it over or damage it. Also, we do not recommend this cage for outdoor use (including screened in rooms). If you are looking for something a bit more sturdy and
durable - also a bit larger (2 inches wider, 3 inches deeper) and
quite beautiful - you should check out our Sturdy
Cage.
This is the same cage that we use with many of our breeding gliders and through special
arrangements with the manufacturer, we are now able to offer this cage to you at a great price of only $95.47 and shipping is only
$6 anywhere in the Continental U.S.
No more than three adult gliders should live in a cage this size.
These are minimum requirements;
bigger is always better for gliders and you can't get too big for
these active little critters. In a bigger cage, they can jump
farther, get lots more exercise, and just have a grand old time in
all that space. Sugar gliders may be small, but they think and
they play BIG! You could always get a second cage - at a nice discount
- and you won't pay any extra shipping fees!

Note: This cage was originally designed for birds. Sugar Gliders are a lot more inquisitive than birds, and as such a couple of very simple modifications are suggested to make this cage a perfect sugar glider home.
First of all, we suggest that you secure the sides after assembly with a handful of nylon cable
ties - and we've included them with the cage :)
The doors of the cage slide up and down and a clever enough glider will figure out how to open
them. We use clothes pins as a quick and easy locking mechanism to keep our precious gliders safe in their home.
We do not recommend this cage be used outdoors. Choose
