Make sure that you have a really large cage. I don't suggest getting one in a petstore because they
are much to expensive and usually aren't big enough. I suggest building one your self or having one
built for you. Have it made out of latex (rubber, PVC) coated wire that is at least 3 feet tall, if
not 4 or 5. It should be a minimum of 2 feet square. I buillt one this way that is 4 feet tall a 2
feet square with a place at the bottom for a metal pan and it only cost me about $70 including shipping
( I ordered from Klubertanz 1 800 237 3899)Also Have aprpriate bedding in the bottom that is not cedar. Cedar
can be harmful to a small animals respiratory system. I suggest processed corn cobs. Also get some shirts with
pockets in the front so that you can let your new sugar glider sleep in there during the day as you go about your
business. This will help tremendously in the bonding process.

: I am getting my baby in March. What kinds of toys
do I need in the cage? I have never had a sugar glider before and don't really know what to expect. I am getting
a girl. The breeder says that she is still in the mama's pouch. I hope I get one that tames easily. Is there anything
that would be helpful for me to know prior to her arrival?
