I have been wanting to build a larger cage for my gliders and I'm not sure which woods are safe for gliders to be around. I would hate for my gliders to get sick from making it from the wrong kind. Someone please help me out.

i have hearc that poplar is good, also, make sure that if you use galvanized steel, that it is coated with vinyl or rubber.

I have found them very helpful as I have lots of plants and I like to cut wood for my little guys to use as perches and limbs for their play
area. As far as cages go dont use any treated or painted wood. hope this helps Kimi
