Hi all!!
So this is just to give a description of one of the cages I found for travel. There was a site that sells it (
http://www.sugar-gliders.com/glider-cages/24-collapsible-travel-cage.html) but it’s no longer in stock! So I found a similar make at Petco (cheaper on Amazon btw!!) and just received it!
First thoughts: the suncoast one came with a grid system to hang things. It is super easy to pop up and is large, especially on its side standing up. A good size for gliders (about the size of the top half of a critter nation). But without those grids, it will be a challenge to hang things. There is a hole for a water bottle but being on the one of the shorter sides, if I stand it up it is either upside down or flat on the ground.
It does seem possible to use the poles on the frame to your advantage. They are very sturdy, so I would probably zip tie my wheel to the bottom and then the water bowl with its clip to the side or zip ties to a support corner bar. Then use the top across pieces to hang fleece from side to side and use those to then hang
toys from. Makes it easy to wash afterwards. Other though I had was to buy those wire racks used for shelving or cooling baked goods if you can find the right side, and tie to a side you want to hang things on and use that as support. Only worry would be if it isn’t secured top and bottom it will swing when they jump on it and it will flap back and forth.
I don’t believe it comes with flaps to cover the mesh on the sides, because half the panels are and half aren’t mesh. It comes with a very nice carry bag, folds in seconds even on my first try and does have a decent pocket on one end to hold supplies (plates, water bottle, maybe a toy or 2, not huge but workable).
Here’s the link on amazon of the one I got, purely for a picture of it:

But with the holidays coming up and the sales around, it would be a good time to look into travel options. It’s a heavy duty canvas and can be scrubbed to get food and such off which I also like.
I hope these
links and review are allowed!!!
