Can't Decide on Which Cage to Buy - 03/29/15 04:56 PM
My cage is too small for my little guy and I am looking to get him a roomier cage. I decided that the best bet would be to spend the money on the right cage instead of choosing something that is just adequate. It appears that most people recommend the following cages:
1. Madagascar

2. Congo Sturdy Cage

3. Critter Nation
http://www.amazon.com/Midwest-Critter-Nation-Animal-Habitat/dp/B001NJ0DAY
I've almost hit the trigger on the Madagascar Cage about 3 times but I am bothered by the statement that it is especially designed for Sugar Gliders. If this is true then why the vertical bars? The comment of it being specifically designed for Sugar Gliders was the #1 reason why I was interested in that cage. When I compare the pictures of the Congo Cage and Madagascar Cage they appear to be identical other than the size.
The Midwest Critter Cage has the horizontal bars but I the trays on the 2nd level does not appear to be optimal for the sugar gliders. Can they be removed and have the cage more open? Also, I saw a comment on Amazon that the ladders have broken legs of small animals and they should be removed or wrapped in fleece. Has anyone had this issue?
Now here is my last question. I know that most people here are anti PP but their cage does look like it is specifically designed for Sugar Gliders. It is an open design, has square bars that would be easy for the Sugar gliders to climb and is highly configurable. Vendor aside, I want whats best for my little one. The only downside I see with this cage compared to the others is the cost. Is there anything else that is concerning about this cage? Has anyone had any bad experiences?
