Can i buy a hampster cage for a sugar glider instead 10 points?

Question

im going to get a sugar glider and their cages are soo expensive so i was wondering if i can put a sugar glider in a hampsters cage or do they need more room

Answer 1

Definately NOT....

As stated above gliders need FAR more room than that. h**l. Most Hamster cages aren't even enough room for a hamster...

If you can't afford the initial set-up - how are you going to afford the care and upkeep? Gliders need special diets - store bought glider food does not cut it & when they get sick it is VERY expensive to have them treated. Small animal & exotic vets costa  fortune - I hope you have a minimum of $1,000.00 saved up for a rainy day incase your glider gets ill.

That said - build your own cage. It's easy and WAAYYY cheaper than purchasing new. All the raw materials cost less that $50 and you can get a much bigger cage.

Google cage designs and you should be able to find plans for something suited to your skill level

Answer 3

No.  Sugar gliders needs tons of room to climb and jump, you can not keep them in a Hamster cage.  http://exoticpets.about.com/cs/sugarglid...  If price is a concern, you might look into building your own: http://www.glidercentral.net/links/pages...

Answer 4

unfortunately not.  I have 2 sugargliders and we have a 6' cage for them.  theyre very energetic and need room to jump around and climb so the cage should also be wire for them.  i would check on craigslist.com of i were you, they have some good deals. good luck :)

Answer 5

they need more room then a hamster cage, maybe if you want to save money you could get a sugar glider cage off of freecycle or ebay but make sure you clean it well if you get it secondhand.

good luck!
