What is the min. height for a glider cage?

the biger the better,I bught some Vinyl covered 1/2 by 1/2  Metal mesh at the hardware store and made an empty rooom their play room, there I have branches,ropes and  plants, is a wonderfull time when I get to their cage to put them out for play time, their actuall cage is 2' by 4' by 6' and when I get  new , the quaranntine is 2'x2'x4'  after they seem to be ok on helth they get to play in the playground.

I would say an absolute minimum height for a pair would be 36"... overall 36"x24"x18".  Increasing numbers of gliders should have increasingly larger cages.

I would have to go along with Natalie and say teh minimum of 36''...in the wild gliders climb, swing, jump, and yes, glide! It's important they have enough room as possible or they can become stressed, which leads to depression, which leads to death! So a big cage is deffinately necissary!

my cage is 7 feet tall.  getting me little guy out is a trick because the pouch is up so high.  but, on the 30th my Tipsy is going on a car ride w/me to pick up the newest editions to my family.  Panga and Rascal.   I can't wait to meet those two.  its gonna be so much fun

Hi There. A cage should be as tall as possible. The higher up these creatures are the happier they are. In the wild they rarely come down onto the ground. They need hight to escape predators, so they can glide off to escape.
 Whatever size the cage is it is a good idea to have it up high. Their most common predator are owls so they get nervous if  there is a lot of movement above them.
Also It is a good idea to arrange their feeding spot high up in the cage so that they can relax.

the minimum height for gliders is 36" any smaller would not be suitable for your glider unless you are using it as a travel cage.
