I feel exceptionally sorry for gliders that are kept in cages of this size. Gliders need at least 3' of height. That is independent of whether you have one, two or more gliders.
I have had gliders for five years and the more time I spend watching them the more space I realize that they need. As nocturnal animals they are likely to spend 4/5 of their waking hours in the cage. If you love your gliders you try to provide the maximum space. I have also realized with time that providing multiple shelves and perches in their cage also improves their lives.
A snob no- glider fanatic and lover yes and proud of it. By the way any "attacks" telling me I love my pets too much will be gladly received.
Please everyone else add their thoughts on cage sizes.
