Hi all- does anyone have pictures of glider kitchens? I think I'd like to try making a couple but I don't know what they look like

If you go to my photo's, look under "my suggies", you will see an "igloo kitchen". It was given to us as a gift. You can always make your own kitchen though. Just get a clear box(rectangular or square)that comes with a lid. Lid side down, just cut an opening on one end or side of box for the gliders to enter....put lid on bottom of the cage, then put food on top of lid, then put the box on top of lid, wahlah, glider kitchen. It helps keep their excrement's from getting in their food dish.

Perfect- thank you

I made my own Kitchen, all I did was get a clear plastic container, no lid, however, and i burnt two holes into either side of it. Because i burnt, bot cut, it steers clear of making the holes sharp, dont want to cut their delicate little feet!

Great idea- thank you

The big igloo and medium igloo kitchens.

Thank you

Mine don't have kitchens, they aren't that messy with their food!

Lucky you....

My SG is like lyricalnuisance. Most of the food stays in the bowl and the pieces that do get out, land in the pull out tray.

I use similar to igloo, but is a barn. I used soldering iron to place two holes which I use c-links to hinge to cage. I don't use anything under it, but place bowl of fruit and veggies inside, this allows waste to drop to pan.

I had originally used kitchens I made but grew tired of them.

I'll have to think about that- thank you TJ.

I've been placing their dishes on the top shelves on each cage because the cages are so tall, they drop food (my dogs are happy because they get a snack... Lol) but I hate the mess

my dogs get the left over pieces I pick out of the pan every morning(assuming they didn't land in glider pee) and what ever f/v is left over in the gliders bowls.

This i will pass on to you spurred by my friends and contacts from various zoos and rescuers. i dont use a kitchen nor do i put their foods in the same place all the time.... Gliders are foragers.... as part of they're inrichment I made hangers from hangers (plastic coated)....lol. I made them to fit small dishes I have 2 to 3 depending on the day. I hang the dishes in different places in the cage. I cut out little shields to weave into the bars if i place the dishes on the outside walls of the cage so if thet throw pieces they pretty much stay in the cage. Be aware that any and all sharp or pointed edges have to be sanded or capped. For the shields I used the plistic from office report covers and cut squares, slightly melted the edges to dull them. Then all i do is curve them in a "C" and stick them between a couple bars and let go ...they open up and act as a shield. Also, when making the hangers you have to make sure it will hold the weight of the gliders as they like to climb and sit on them.

They are comical in some of the ways they find to get to their foods.. My favorits and omega's fav, is when I hang it in the middle of the cage near the top. He hangs from his back feet into the dish and eats. He does this on the sides of the cage also..lol
