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.

You can't train sugar gliders to defecate in a box however exhibit a behavior that allows you to get them their pooing under control before you let them out of their cage. Sugar gliders are naturally nocturnal so they tend to sleep away much of the day. When you first wake them up they have a tendency to relieve themselves. They usually will not defecate where they sleep unless they can't get out. So when you wake up your glider and take him out of the cage be sure that you have either tissues or wipes available. If you are outside hold them over the grass and massage their belly to stimulate the activity. Once a glider defecates it should not have to go again for about 4 hours. Eventually you become accustomed to your gliders schedule and can anticipate their relieving themselves and thus avoid accidents

Whether this works when sugar gliders are being kept in captivity in a tiny cage is uncertain.
