: Does anyone really know what sort of cage is best for gliders? I have read so many
: opinions on the internet, warnings, and contradictions that I worry about my cage.
: I have heard coated wire is not good-they chew on it. I have heard galvenized is not good
: because it will poisin them and is hard on the feet. plexiglass cages, not enough ventilation.
: I have a galvenized wire and wood cage and it seems fine for my gliders whom I've had 2+ years.
: (the wood is not ideal, it soaks in urine, but I clean it a lot). So what is everyone's opinion on
: the perfect cage material?

As long as we're on the topic, how big is big enough for one glider? I want her to be able to jump around and play at night...I was thinking 2 x 2 x 4 or 2 x 2 x 6. Thanks for all the great suggestions everybody!
