How do you set up a Sugar Glider cage?

My Grandma is going to get me a Sugar Glider for my birthday and I’ve been reading up. I was wondering what you need for a perfect Glider cage. I already have the cage which is 30″ x 30″ x 6′6″. What should I put in the cage? I’d like help from experienced Sugar Glider owner. And what should their diet consist of? Thanks a ton!

Diet:
The feeding requirements of a sugar glider are somewhat controversial. It is only recently they have been kept as pets, and needs are somewhat of a mystery. As time goes on people will learn more about the needs of these little creatures. Sugar gliders are omnivorous, meaning they will eat plant material and meat. In the wild they feed from nectar, fruit, insects and even small birds, eggs or rodents. This diet is pretty hard to replicate in captivity. People feed them a variety of foods trying to mimic their natural diet as best they can. Some people feed insects such as crickets, mealworms, waxworms, moths and spiders. The insects should be fed high quality food such as commercial cricket food, and dusted with a complete vitamin/mineral supplement. Hence their name, the sugar glider loves the taste of sugar. They like fruit cocktail. The fruit should be fed in small amounts, chopped together so the gliders can not just pick out their favorites. There are many different diets that can be fed. These diets cannot be mixed and match and must be fed according to directions. Incorrect diet can cause serious health issues. Some diets you may want to research
BML, Taronga Zoo Diet, Chicago Zoological Park Alternative Diet , Darcy’s Sugar Glider Diet , Elwin’s Fresh Food Diet, Priscilla Price’s Sugar Glider Diet, Suncoast Glider Diet Plan, etc(there are a few more to this list)

Cage set up:
Gliders need a lot of things to climb and jump on. They are arboreal(live in trees) in the wild and their captive habitat should copy their natural environment. I used bird perches, swings, branches, ropes, toys that hung from the top of the cage, etc. They need a hammock to sleep in.

To add, I hope you are getting two, as single glider can become lonely and not thrive. I started out with a single glider and eventually had to get another, because he would bark all night. Gliders are active between the hours of dawn and dusk(when most people are sleeping), if you have two gliders than they will be able to play and interact at night.

Please do as much research as possible on these guys. They are not easy to keep and require very specific care in order to thrive and be healthy.
