Hi, Caroline Mcpherson has a list of plants that are poisonous in her sugarglider book, not sure if they are on her site but it is pymypets.com. I make bonding pouches and cage pouches now. I got my sewing machine to work and they are turning out quite nice so I can make you one or tell you how to do so (can you sew?) or you can order from Betsy or any number of places out their. I don't use pine or cedar cause I am paranoid. And I admit it. I use the new stuff at petsmart called carefresh bedding. The whole thing I have read with pine and cedar both is that the dust gets into small animals lungs causing lung infections which can be very harmful to a tiny creature. I have heard though that this is not a problem if the glider does not come in direct contact with the bedding. I don't use it so I dont' know. any other way I can help just let me know.


Petsmart also sells some cool bird branches that are glider safe as far as I know. Percy loves his and Mary another glider own I know, has Peep and he likes his also. Just a thought. Get lots of toys, possibly a wodent wheel if you can. They love them.
Marie
