Do sugar gliders require a cage?
Yes. Although you will probably want to permit your glider some play time outside of its cage, you never want to give your glider unsupervised free roam of your home. It is not only dangerous for the glider, but can be damaging to your household furnishings as well. Gliders must be watched for their own safety. For instance, they can accidently fall into a toilet and drown because they can’t jump out. Furthermore, you’ll want to protect your curtains and wood furniture too. Remember, some gliders are prone to chew wood and shred draperies. So, provide your sugar glider with a home of its own — a large cage or indoor aviary with as much height as possible. And keep an eye on your sugar glider when it is outside of its cage.
