Chinchilla Sugar
What’s the best way to build your own chinchilla or sugar glider habitat?

I’m looking to adopt a sugar glider or chinchilla as a pet. Additionally, I will need a habitat. Has anyone had any experience building their own habitat for either pet?

Sugar gliders need an adequate size cage – at least 20 x 20 x 30 inches. A taller cage is better than a wider one because sugar gliders love to climb. Wire cages are best and commercial bird cages work well. You don’t want to use screen door mesh wire, as this is too small and your pet can easily get his claws caught in it. Cages with removable trays are also very handy, because they are easy to clean.
Keep the cage where your sugar glider won’t experience large differences in temperature (usually the best place is indoors). Since they are nocturnal, sleeping during the day, you will want to put the cage somewhere out of the way where it won’t be disturbed by people’s daily comings and goings. But do make sure to keep him where he can see whether it is night or day, so as to not mess up his biological clock.
Inside the cage provide a nesting box where your sugar glider can sleep during the day. Put aspen shavings, shredded paper, or an old cloth in the nesting box for more comfortable sleep. Put shavings on the bottom of the cage also, to absorb droppings and pushed out food. DO NOT use cedar shavings – these can cause respiratory problems. It is also thought that pine bedding may cause problems as well.
To make your sugar glider’s habitat more natural, it is a great idea to put branches in the cage (many bird perches work great, also). Just be sure that the branches you use are clean and don’t have any chemical residues left on them.
Including toys in the cage will give your pet exercise and enjoyment. Many bird toys work great, and also hollow logs or pipes that they can explore and hide in.
