You can put the wire screen over the holes on the cat crate but not the kritter keeper on the inside. Meets their requirements but is still safe for the gliders. They wouldn't be getting out of the inside container anyway. The screen is just a precaution JUST in case they do.

Delta told me no health certificate was required for gliders.

Hmmm.. I would suggest getting all of their current requirements in writing before you try and ship them. That way there is no question as to what is or isn't needed, and no delays in the fuzzies getting to where they need to go..

Delta for sure does not require health certificate for the gliders but good god they are being wierd about shipping containers. We had a container that our noelle arrived in that is a live animal shipping container for the airlines and they won't approve it because it has ventilation on the top of the box. Any suggestions on how to put a wire mesh on the door and window holes so the cat carrier will meet their requirements yet still be safe for our babies?

Does it have to be wire? Or can you use the hardware cloth thats safe for the babies and ziptie it to the windows and door on the inside?

Sara you are right every employee has their own version of the rules and what is required. This last lady looked it up in the books however and told me it states only dogs aND CATS are required the health certificates. Luckily the babies only have one layover in salt lake city and then onto boston.

I shipped in December and didn't need a health certificate. I put mesh over the front of the shipping crate. What might be cool is if someone could sew a " bonding cube" Like a bonding pouch with a zipper but a cube so they could move a bit more.

I personally don't like Delta. I've had much better luck with Continental (now United). What might be cool is if someone could sew a "Bonding cube" Like a bonding pouch with a zipper but a cube so they could move a bit more. You mean like a miniature Glide-arium? Made to fit snug inside of the cat carrier. I discussed this with Nancy not too long ago.

You can zip-tie PVC coated hardware cloth to the outside of the door to the crate and the ventilation holes on the sides. Be sure to replace the bolts with steel ones if they are plastic - I found that out last time I shipped Delta. They had some at the cargo counter just for that purpose because the requirements were not listed accurately on the website. Delta also could not find a category for sugar gliders so they were listed as "rats" on the manifest.

The idea of a glide-arium to fit inside a cat kennel is a fantastic one. Someone needs to make one. The lady buying the gliders called me tonight about the delta regulations and told me to ship them in the container noelle came in through delta. She says she got gliders not so long ago through delta from Lisa at suncoast in the exact same containers. We are going to try it and if they turn us down we'll try the cat carrier next week. The 1st guy I had talked to at delta told me this contaier was ok so we will pretend no one told us otherwise.

Not sure if you still need help on this one..but my cage is made out of vinyl coated wire. Its safe for them and they have not chewed or anything on it. It bends just like wire also. Comes in rolls at home depot or ace hardware. $7-10. I think that would work? They have 1/2 inch by 1/2 inch.
