Glider cages
When it comes to glider cages, the bigger the better. Also, height is more important than depth or width. We recomend a minum size of 3 food high, 2 foot deep, and 2 foot wide as a very minum.
This is a good size for happy gliders, but is based on the assumption that the animals will have plenty of play-time outside their cage. A pvc wire-mesh cage should have spacing of no more than 1/2 inch by 1 inch. A finch cage is also a good choice since the bars are close enough to prevent escape.
Furnish the cage with non-toxic branches for climbing and gnawing. A nine to twelve inch exercise wheel will be used by most gliders, especially if introduced to them at a young age. Also, be sure to provide your pets with a snug, comfortable sleeping spot. A wooden nest box for finches works well, but will need to be replaced occasionally.
