I wasn’t quite sure where to put this post since we don’t have a marsupial section. BUT This next summer I might be getting a Sugar Glider!! Might as in a co-worker of mine has a boyfriend that has glider and when the girl is old enough he’s going to try and breed them. Which would be around summer time.
I already got a cage for it sometime in November. I found a ready good finch cage that’s a good size and with some additions and security measures I think it will be a ready good cage. I set it up today just to see what it looked like and it’s bigger than I thought. Which is good. I was worried it wasn’t going to be big enough. I’d say it’s the side of an average rabbit hutch. I sat Mia my boxer next to it and I’m pretty sure she could fit in it. Not comfortably but she could fit. I got it for $50. Which from looking at all the other cage prices I think is a steal. The others are $150 and up. It comes with 2 perches, 2 dishes, and the bottom where the pan comes out has bars so a curious glider can’t escape. I cared for a sugar glider a few years ago and that was the one thing I didn’t like about her cage. She knew how to slide the pan out and would escape, looking for me I can only assume. My mom walked in during one of her escape attempts and Suggie took one look at my mom and bounced back to her cage and hid. But when I saw that this cage had the bars I got really excited. It’s a really good cage. Now over the next several months I’ll buy toys and pouches little by little so by the time it comes down to paying for the glider I’ll already have had all the other stuff. I hate putting down a whole lot of money all at once. If I spread it out it then it doesn’t shock my wallet as much.
I’ve wanted a Sugar Glider ever since I got to take care of Suggie. Even if I don’t get a glider from my co-worker I’ll get one eventually. Now that I have this awesome cage I have nothing holding me back. I am going to wait until summer though.
