I would take the larger cage, seeing as you can break it down. That way they will have more room to play.
I use pop up nylon dog kennels as my travel cages.

I agree. If the larger one can easily break down, I'd go with that.

My question is: If I were to make an overnight trip will a 16x16x16 cube suffice for 2 of my fuzzbutts? That size is not sufficient for an overnight stay at all. That is a size that should only be used as a temporary hospital cage (for sick/injured glider where a larger cage is not ideal) or for use in the car so they have a bit more room to move around and have access to the wheel. That is really only needed if you are traveling during the night though.

You have great instincts, also a good idea to double check with questions to be sure. My travel cage which was meant for weekend camping trips (in pop-up camper) measures 18" x 20" x 26". Of course, I agree with the consensus that larger is always better. Your gliders are lucky to have a travel size the size yours is.

For a travel cage, I personally would not recommend anything smaller than a 4.50 cubic square feet cage (24 X 18 X 18) The 16 X 16 X 16 is only 2.37 CSF.... definitely should only be used as a transport cage (from home to vet or from breeder to new home).

I do just what Shelly said, I lay a piece of fleece in the bottom and set the wheel on it.

Currently I have a Glide-Ariam that I use, and similar to the pop up kennel, you need something inside on the floor or at least under it. I currently just used plastic under it for now. I originally was going to cut fleece liners to use inside, but now would rather wait and order custom liners from Jana. She did a great job on my corner shelf custom liner, and I'm impressed with how nice they are and ease to clean. They would work great in a pop up kennel also I believe.
