I have some sisal rope here that my mom bought, and I was thinking that I could use it in the sugar glider cage as climbing rope. Is it safe for gliders? I know that people use it for cats and birds so I just assumed that it would be all right for gliders to. thanx <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

yes sisal is safe just keep an eye on it that it doesn't become to freyed where it can hurt your glider

why would fraying hurt the glider? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/nixweiss.gif" alt="" />

If the ends become too frayed, there is more of a possibility of tiny fingers and toes becoming entangled, etc. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
(Sometimes a little one can get themselves so tangled up they cant get themselves free. Some have struggled so hard to free themselves that they break bones, and some cant get free and chew themselves free... some end up losing a body part due to the circulation being cut off and tissue dying. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> )

OOHH thats terrible!!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crying.gif" alt="" /> How awful! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> I will definitely keep an eye on those gliders then. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> I had no idea they could get into so much trouble...
