: Does anyone really know what sort of cage is best for gliders? I have read so many
: opinions on the internet, warnings, and contradictions that I worry about my cage.
: I have heard coated wire is not good-they chew on it. I have heard galvenized is not good
: because it will poisin them and is hard on the feet. plexiglass cages, not enough ventilation.
: I have a galvenized wire and wood cage and it seems fine for my gliders whom I've had 2+ years.
: (the wood is not ideal, it soaks in urine, but I clean it a lot). So what is everyone's opinion on
: the perfect cage material?

I would think that the coating on wire would be less dangerous to them than galvanized wire...
Assuming you had a lot of ventilation and tons of climbing branches, the plexi glass cage could work out.
