Sources disagree on best type of cage; need help!! - 03/27/15 12:57 PM
It looks like I will be getting a little female sugar glider this weekend. I'm really excited but I'm scared to death! I've been researching their needs for at least a week now and when I was told I could have this little girl, my researching kicked into overdrive. I was up until 1:00am trying to figure out what she needs and I'm seriously afraid I will buy the wrong cage.
asvg.org mentioned the Jung-L-Gym but they had a recall several years ago. They also said to get epoxy coated cages but other resources have said powder coated is better. asvg also said PVC coated is good but I've also read that it's not. I gotta get a cage today or early tomorrow and I'm not sure what is safest for her. =(
I know the bars should be half an inch apart and she needs plenty of space but not too much since she's a baby. But the material the crate is made of/coated with is causing me a lot of anxiety.
TL;DR A lot of sources disagree on what sort of cage you should have, epoxy coated, powder coated, or pvc coated. Help.
