: What actual dimensions would make a good nestbox for two gliders? I received a box that I ordered and it is only about 4" x 5" x 4"... will this be large enough? I didn't realize it was so small, but now I think that may be a good thing. Does anybody know?

It's fine if your gliders are a little cramped.. they like the tight feeling. Not too tight, of course, but they are much happier being snug than laying in an open place that is way too big. But I still think they prefer something like a ferret hammock or ferret pouch. My rule of thumb is to always gear their gear toward whatever their mom would have felt like. It works with my Foster, of course he's extremely spoiled! Good luck-
Kim
