New sugar glider cage

All 4 of them are fit in the feeder. Of course there needs to be more climbing structures, that can be easily done... The gliders are quite tame, they're handled and hand-fed daily so don't bite. Young ones started to glide recently.

      Can't imiginate a zoo can display his animals this way.... !

      And there was a hammock but removed.
      But if the conditions are too bad, the gliders shouldn't have bred there, right? They're not rats after all.

      Still poor enclosure, needs plenty of hides and a wheel and as you said more climbing structures. Sugar gliders will breed in very bad conditions my old pair of rescues came from somebody who was keeping 14 breeders in a chinchilla cage with one hide.... It took two years before their coat started to come through grey and not brown.

      The female has given birth again and was moved to another cage with a hammock shelter.

      Absolutely, and if this is their NEW cage, what the hell was the old one like!!

      This is the best argument for keeping animals in such poor conditions like this one...I loe it-if tehy breed, tehy doing and feel very well, right ? Strange,in teh past, bares have berd in the old bear castles and bear pits, lions in small, empty cages, elephants in tiny exhibits, apes in the bathromm style cages and even teh animals in the perfect fur farmes breeding well there. I think, they feel alright there-yeah, they do, because they breed.Alos the manatees at artis in teh old bathtube have bred there regualry-so I ask, why Artis has stopped keeping them there ?

      My opinion is-if an animals lives very long, then it is allright and feels good, nevertheless the way its being kept.;)
