Paani picked up Lele and Laki today from Lucky Glider. And guess what he brought with him to help transport. All the kids will be wearing these to school.

He also gave some really great ideas of things to add to this contraption. Things like a fleece water bottle holder, a tray at the bottom to catch any messes...
After seeing this, I think I am going to have to make one of these!!! I love that the PVC frame provides, not only a place to hand a pouch, but also some protection for the gliders.

There are a number of PET BACKPACKS listed on ebay but most appear to be for small dogs and may or may not be adaptable for sugar gliders.



this one looks somewhat right.

LOL, that is so funny one of my daughters goes to a military academy and all they allow them to wear is the mesh backpacks! I love the way they reinforced it with the PVC.

I think what I like about mine is that you can wear it in front so you can see them....

I thought about it a bit more on the way home. If I was going to make one from scratch (this one adapted the mesh backpack from the base exchange -- $10 -- and about $2-3 in PVC), I'd use the mesh fabric someone on GC (Karen?) was using to make travel cages. I'd like to use thinner pipe or even heavy-gauge electrical wire to frame it out and I'd put the water bottle sleeve on the outside with just a small hole at the bottom for the drinking tube to enter the inside for the suggies.

As Terry said, it'd be nice to have a catch tray at the bottom. I can wear this on the front side but it would work better with a different strap arrangement.

I had really made this for Anson and Judah (my first two suggies) so I could take them outside and give them more freedom to look around if they wanted but they've only been able to use it a couple times and it was before I framed it out. Laki and Lele seemed to like it enough but were much happier on the drive back in the large popup kennel since it had a frame to hold the backpack and pouch but also had a Custom Cruiser and kitchen with suggie soup in it.
