: I know that you can use plants in sugar glider cages, and I know the ones that are nontoxic, but what do all of you use in your cages (if you use plants at all)? I was planning on using some Pothos, some type of palm, and some air plants (tillandsia).

Plants inside a glider's cage is not really a good idea. Anything you put in there will get trampled, eaten, or used for bedding. Tillandsias won't last 5 minutes. Pothos has oxalates in it and is not good if they eat too much of it. You can use non-toxic live tree branches with leaves still on them, but they get replaced after they are stripped of bark. Make sure they don't have pesticides on them. You can find a list of safe and dangerous plants at ISGA and on my page.
