Sugar gliders live in a range of temperatures. They are native to Australia, and are most commonly found in both closed and open dry sclerophyll forest, and rainforest as well. In their native habitat, they can be found in the humid, tropical north, right down the eastern coast to the cooler, temperate areas of Tasmania. Now there are many wild colonies in New Guinea and Indonesia as well.

Sugar gliders are sensitive, delicate creatures and should most definitely not be kept in bird cages. They will die.

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.
