I am unsure if this is the correct forum to post this in as it is mostly a general questions.

Hello everyone,

We are slowly starting to prepare ourselves to add 2 sugar gliders to our family. Any and all suggestions are more than welcomed. I've done quite a bit of research and still am as this is new territory for us. We currently do not have any gliders lined up but are preparing before contacting the breeder we have in mind. We have compiled a small list of items that are required - we have not bought anything yet.

Here are some things on our list so far.

Cage - We are looking to build something very similar to this but would love some input. Here is the link. I find that the reviews have much better pictures for viewing. We are also planning on getting a smaller cage for cleaning purposes or in case we need it.

I have no experience building a cage, so that definitely looks like a very complicated project to me. Kuddos to you for being able to do something like it.

As for diet, I'm thinking of going with Critterlove Complete. It seems to come quite recommended from many other sugar glider forums and posts that we have read. Anyone familiar with this diet? If so, how do you prep and store. How/when do you feed your gliders? I know that a glider diet is one of the most important things and I want to make sure they get the best that we can give them.
We are also planning on feeding them a few mealworms a week, no more than 2-3.

Would be on the top of my list as a feeding plan choice. Be sure to feed as directed


Stealth wheel - This is the only website that I've seen most people link when it comes to these wheels. Are these good and are they the only ones available?

There are others out there, however, the Stealth or Treadmill would be my first choice.

emergency kit - Kind of like the one below

We will be purchasing multiple bonding pouches, vines, foraging/enrichment toys, etc. We would love to hear what you guys have for toys/foraging toys. I looked online a lot but I'm not 100% what would be good to get.

I would suggest turning this question into a separate post in this forum to get answers. There are so many different options, and it will get lost in this post

I am looking for some information about water bottles vs. water bowls. Which do you think is better? Do you have both or just the one? Why?

I would suggest the same with this question. Different post in this forum.

What are some of the best websites to purchase glider items? Which ones to stay away from? We are from Canada and we usually end up paying hefty shipping fees depending on the delivery provider.

Check out CritterLove . I know she ships all over the world and is a full service vendor not just diet products. You might find everything you need in one place.

That is all I can think of for now... as previously stated any and all information welcomed! I am sure that I am missing a few items.

Thank you
