Their nests and fleece pieces keep them in the dark during the day. It gets meddlesome when they are out and climbing on the cages and I can't see them because they are under the cover. Is it a must? Also I am in a warm climate and drafts / temperature not a problem.

If you don't feel you need or want a cover, than do not use one, I'm sure there are several who do not use any. Lives with: 1 God 1 dog, (Willow) 1 Sugie, (Ollie) R.I.P.

The curtains can be purchased at discount stores for almost nothing. Dollar Tree has them for $1 Your Sugar Glider Resource Center Sugar Glider Help
