Do Sugar Gliders Need Exercise?

         Yes! They will become fat, lazy, ill, and grouchy without exercise. "Well, how in the Universe am I supposed to make sure my Suggie gets exercise, you ask? Let me reply....plenty of ways! A properly sized hamster ball, you'll know if it's too small or too big if they seem to have a hard time moving it around. A wheel, preferably ones closed on all sides with holes they can fit into. A series of perches, perhaps?
       My biggest piece of advice to you is not to over crowd your Suggies cage. They like new things, so maybe add the wheel and rope ladder one week and than switch those out for perches and a swing. Whatever toys you put in your Suggies cage make sure they are secure in the cage and can't fall and hurt your little baby. They may be able to jump and glide but no one said they were graceful! 

Here are some websites to get Suggie safe toys from:

       Also, if you put anything that is fabric in your Suggies cage, make sure it isn't knitted, frayed, or coming apart. Loose strings can be ingested and cause digesting problems. They also can get wrapped around his limbs and cut off his circulation.
