Thank you so much! I will definitely not use 3D printed items in the cage then! I have a good number of supervised-only toys, so I probably have no need for 3D printing then. I really appreciate everyone for your help!

3d printed item are deem a supervise lay item. they not100 % sealed tight so bacteria can start growing in the layer line gaps. I make items for glider for photo stuff for my ex wife so I have a very good idea on things to be made.If you make anything it always a good practice to inspect the piece daily..You also should only make them with Petg filament as the pla can pull apart easier and if they chewing on pieces then abs and asa are basically toxic ( also recommend only using items with play time.

On the bracelets/ rings, they have to be at least 2.5" in diameter for safety reasons. Chunky gliders could get trapped

Something like 3D shapes like stars, squares, or triangles (without sharp edges) They'd kinda look like they were blown up with a balloon, just to pout in like a toy bin for them to look around in to hide funner toys. I also don't know much about 3D printing. My friend has a printer, and I was just wondering if this could end up being a way to make easy toys (for free) For rings (if I did them), then it would be about the size to fit on your wrist, like the plastic ones commonly used. I don't know for sure, I was just wondering if someone on the forum knew more about it than I do (I couldn't get an image link from a screenshot to show you, sorry  )

I would not use all four shelves, and maybe only one or two ladders. I would use 2-3 shelves and swap the number of shelves every so often. I have a DIY kitchen that can't be hung, so it needs a solid surface, so I have to use at least one shelf. I also made the mistake of buying poof pouches, rather than ones in which they can see me coming from when I adopt them,  So I have to hang the poof pouches so that they rest on a solid surface, so that the opening of the pouch is facing the front of the cage so that when I first get then I don't scare them when they suddenly see a huge new scary face peering down at them without much a visual warning. (That's just for the first month or so till they warm up to me) I believe they would have plenty of space to glide since the shelves are not the full depth of the cage. I would have them also mainly positioned closer to the lower half of the cage, with more gliding availability towards the top. Is that still ok? I've heard they need some platforms, as climbing the side bars all the time cannot be so great in the long run, and also just a place they can stand/sit or whatever they do  Correct me if I'm wrong with any of this  (also no need to apologise for the late reply I understand  )

Sorry about slow response. Borneo cages are safe. However the shelves they offer aren't necessary and the ladders can be dangerous. People who buy these cages usually fill them with toys , bridges, corner hammocks so the gliders can jump, around and possibly short glide from these things. A glider approved safe wheel or 3 also provide many activities and jumping around. I strongly recommend these wheels and the running disc. Sugar glider wheels | Free Runner Inc | United States https://share.google/bLoHAuKXt3nRRTNavThis is a very large cage and will accommodate a large colony.

I'm not very familiar with 3d printing.
There are filaments that are food grade and safe for gliders.
What type of toys are you planning to make? There are rules about minimum and maximum openings.

Hi  Is the Borneo Cage (Version II) from Exotic Nutrition any good? Does anyone have problems with it at all? And how many gliders can/should it hold? How many gilders would be best for the size? For those who don't know Its 62" high, 46" wide, 23" deep, with 38 ft of cubic space with ½” bar spacing with Wire Gauges 2.5mm (horizontal) & 4.0mm (vertical) Removable locking wired floor grates and catch trays, four locking side access doors, and two full-length front doors with stainless steel locks. I would get it with the Shelf & Ladder Set, Shelves measure 45" wide x 12" deep with openings 9" x 5" Ladders measure 21" long x 5" wide

Can you 3D-print toys for gliders? Is it safe? I don't know if its toxic if they try to chew on it.  I might make things like rings they can carry around, or balls/other 3d shapes for a toy pit, or hanging cups with hooks built in for hanging. (if safe) I just don't know if its safe. The items probably would not be completely smooth, and I don't know what type of plastic is used.

I use about 1 cup white vinegar to a gallon of water. It helps release the urine and their marking smell.
I do a quick rinse, the vinegar smell goes away once it's washed again and dried. A slight fragrance is fine. I set my laundry load up for a second rinse to make sure.
Its ok for the fleece to be warm when it comes out of the dryer. Following these guidelines will extend the life of the fleece.

Mine is some weird one I can't remember the name of What's the vinegar-to-water ratio you use? My laundry comes out warm from the dryer with a light scent to it, but it's an unscented detergent Is that ok? The scent is not strong, but I don't know if that's just normal Would I have to ensure the vinigar scent it 100% out of the fabric before washing to ensure scent familiaryity?
I don't have gliders yet, but will the general new scent of the cage be super overwhelming for them? And if they pee on everything to familiaryize scent and it smells super bad, should I wash them or not because of that?
I don't think the current fost home can have them use the pouches before adoption
(sorry thats a lot)

Hello!
I pre soak their bedding in white vinegar and warm water in a bucket to help with urine smells. At least an hour and rinse.
Then I use an unscented laundry detergent like arm and hammer, drift, or unscented laundry sheets. I usually wash with my regular clothes. Warm water , no fabric softener. No Pods, orange detergent that has built in fabric softener.
I use dryer on medium or low or hang outside in the sunshine. No dryer sheets.
Be sure to check everything for holes or loose threads before putting away or back in their cage.

What detergents are safe? Is any brand safe as long as it meets a certain requirement? How to wash? With other laundry items or not? Does the water temperature matter?
