I live in St. Louis, and I’m going to be getting a sugar glider soon. I looked on ebay and found a nice cage and bonding pouches and all that kind of stuff, but I wanna know what types of toys I should get for my baby, and where to get them? I don’t really want to buy those things online.
Just as a note before I start answering your actual question, sugar gliders are colony creatures and should be kept in pairs or groups.
That said, make sure your cage is at least 3 feet high x 3 feet wide x 2 feet deep.
Toys.. I know you say you don’t want to buy online, but the truth is, you’re more likely to find good toys online.
These are some vendors that I do business with on a regular basis:
Gliderdaydreams.com
SpoiledRottenSuggies.com
Gliderpals.com
..each are fabulous.
Also check out Critterbin.com
And glidercentral.net (great site for information, but also has a classifieds center, and many links to vendors).
If you still are set on buying them in person, most bird toys are safe. As well as toys made for infants.
You will also need cage sets and sleeping pouches for your gliders. Gliderdaydreams.com sells them — and if you send her an e-mail (email is listed on her website) asking if she’ll make a custom cage set for you, she likely will..(Standard cage set includes 2 corner hammocks, 1 bridge, 2 pouches… and if you want, a tunnel and/or fleece vine… This all for me, minus the fleece vine, cost $30 something).
