: : HI EVERYONE. ITS ME AGAIN WITH QUESTIONS, QUESTIONS, QUESTIONS, I HAVE A PAIR OF SUGAR GLIDERS HOUSED IN ONE OF THOSE BABY WIPE BOXES. I READ SOMEWHERE THAT THEY WORK PRETTY WELL AND ACTUALLY I DO LIKE THEM. I CUT A HOLE IN THE SIDE BUT IT HAS A LID TO OPEN UP FOR CLEANING AND REMOVING THE SUGAR GLIDERS. MY ONLY PROBLEM IS EVERY DAY IT HAS WATER DROPLETS ON THE INSIDE LID. I DONT KNOW WHAT FROM OR WHAT I AM DOING WRONG. I HAVE A SOCK AND PAPER TOWELS IN IT FOR BEDDING BUT THE SUGARGLIDERS ARE ALWAYS SOMEWHAT DAMP. I AM WORRIED THEY WILL GET SICK. ANY SUGGESTIONS. I REALLY LIKE THE BOX ITS SO CONVIENANT AND EASY TO CLEAN. ALSO THE MALE IN HIS OWN CAGE IS NOW PRETTY TAME. DO I PUT HIM IN THE BIG CAGE NOW AND PUT ONE OF THE UNTAME FEMALES IN THE LITTLE CAGE BY HERSELF TO START WORKING ON TAMING HER. WILL THE MALE STAY TAMED?. SORRY ABOUT ALL THE QUESTIONS.

: : THANKS

: You need to punch ventilation holes in it. What you are finding is condensation from sweat and breathe.

: Also typing in all caps is like shouting at people.

I thought the moisture in my nest boxes was from alex marking the lid!!! I never thought of exhalation moisture. it has a big two inch opening.
