Sugar Gliders are nocturnal animals that are most active at night. It is completely fine to handle your Glider during the day, as long as you let it curl up and sleep in either a bonding pouch, pocket, or back in it's cage once it starts to get tired. Letting your Glider loose in a room to play can be extremely entertaining to watch. It's important that this freedom is only allowed for tame Gliders that have gotten used to their surroundings and are willing to return back to their cage once finished playing. Simply open the door of the cage in the evening or at night and watch your Glider explore the room. Supervision is a must because they can easily escape outside, into a vent, or drown in any standing water. You can try to teach your pet to glide to you by placing it in a high area, then encouraging it down onto your hand using a treat. Once your Glider catches on to the game, you can gradually move farther and farther away so that it has to leap, then eventually glide to reach you. Visit our website to see our Glider Harness & Leash to keep your suggie safely within arms length while it's adjusting to being outside the cage.

A clean cage is the first step towards a clean and healthy pet. You should spot clean your cage once a day, washing any high-traffic areas that are soiled.

The entire cage should be cleaned once a week with a cleaning solution, such as Kage Kleen. Make sure your glider(s) are removed from the cage and don't get lost while they're out. Try one of our travel cages to keep them comfortably enclosed.

Food and water dishes must be kept thoroughly clean, try using a bottle brush, and nesting material should be changed regularly.

A seemingly easy rule is many times forgotten, despite its importance; always wash your hands before and after handling your pet or it's cage accessories. Besides keeping your pet healthy, this will help prevent the spread of disease from your animals to the rest of your house.
