In Reply to: Could a good home possibly be in a barn? posted by Catherine on January 09, 19100 at 20:52:50:

: Hello all,
: You guys seem to give very good advice on this page and I was wondering if as many people as possible could give me there thoughts on a barn being a good home for sugar gliders. It's and inclosed barn which has three totally inclosed rooms. One is taken up by saddles and horse tack, another the craft room, and the third empty. We were thinking that we could fix it up into a nice place where we could keep a few so they could keep each other company in the late hours of the night when no one is around. We spend at least 3-4 hours out there each day, and would have plenty of time to be with them. Is it a bad thing to have them out there as long as we spend A LOT of time with them? Is it really important to be inside a home 24-7? Has anyone has any experences like this? Does anyone have any comments? PLEASE HELP!! We would really like it if you would! Thanks so muck :o)

My initial concern would be keeping the temp. consistant. Why not contact Beverly Oakes of Glider Gulch, she has her gliders in a renovated barn and they are doing very well there. She would have the on hand experience to give you the pitfalls to watch for. Her e-mail address is boakes1@earthlink.net
