Help!! Cage Questions - 03/25/15 12:21 AM
Hello,
I just got a cage for my sugar glider that I am picking up on 4/4
I wanted to get it early so I had lots of time to set it up.
I got this one:
http://kaytee.com/products/kaytee-my-first-home-30-x-18-multi-level-exotics.php
I got it for a few reasons;
Reasonably priced
Easy To Clean
Big for a young sugar glider.
I got it today put it together, and it looks nice!
But then I really take a look at it and see that the wiring has no coating on it.
No powder coating, nothing. Just shiny metal.
So I sent the company a message online asking if their cage has zinc, etc, in it.
So here are my questions;
Are metal cages with no coating on them automatically bad?
Can anyone recommend a coating that I could apply to the bars if it needs it? Would any non toxic metal coating work?
I really appreciate all of the answers, and I am excited to enter the world of sugar gliders. I just want to be prepared.
