Sugar gliders are sensitive, delicate creatures and should most definitely not be kept in bird cages. They will die. Sugar gliders need to be able to nest and hide in hollow logs, in complete privacy. Bird cages or, indeed, any other type of cage, is completely unsuitable as they need to be able to "glide" between tree-tops. they are a free, native animal that should never be caged. If they are recovering from an injury or trauma, they must have the security of a dark, enclosed place or they will surely die. ___________________________ But, Sugar GLiders are kept as pets. If the cage was to have the right kind of coating, the right size, and vertical and horizontal bars, then the Suggie would be fine. My friend has two sugar gliders, Luna and Alfred.
Sugar gliders get most of their water from the foods that they eat, if they're fed a proper diet. Due to this fact, it might appear that the sugar gliders are not drinking much if you go by just the water bottle (or bowl) level alone. Despite the fact that sugar gliders get most of their water from foods, it is still required to have at least one water bottle in the cage at all times.
