I am getting myself a little boy sugar glider this weekend and tomorrow we are going out for the supplies so i was just wondering if anyone had any good suggestions for a cheap cage or one that i can build. I would like one with decent height for the little guy to play in. Thanks.

Check out
www.birdandcage.com (Bird and Cage Company) and
www.sugar-gliders.com (Suncoast Sugar Gliders). They make an amazing hexagon cage, although it's a little pricey. It lasts a long time, plenty of room and I love it. Your glider will also need a friend, they don't tend to do well alone. They do much better when kept in pairs or small groups.

I know that they tend to get lonely but i have lots of free time and my dad's friend brings hers to work everyday so i am having him bring ours so that they can play together in a little tent i have. Is that a decent idea? atleast until i get my mom to let us get another one?

Roy,
I wouldn't do that. They could bond, causing separation anxiety when they have to go back to different homes. If you are near Florida, I have a very sweet girl I could sell you. With enough attention, he'll be fine for now but he really needs a friend. When you are asleep, he'll be all alone and that's not good.

yea, gliders stress easily. getting a cagemate is the thing to do!

Roy,
You are a kind hearted individual. Trust me, once you get the first one, your mom will fall in love with it! Mine did.

Out of sheer curiosity, how old are you if you don't mind my asking?
