Sugar glider cages vary in cost.
You're generally not going to find a good one for less than $100, but it can cost even more than that. I would recommend getting the biggest and best cage you can afford.

∙ 14y agoThe absolute minimum size for two sugar gliders (which is the minimum amount of gliders that one should own) is 3 feet tall x 3 feet wide x 2 feet deep. If you're going to have more gliders, you will need to double the height.
Height is more important than width, and taller is always better. Get the biggest cage you can afford.
Also, the maximum bar spacing is 1/2 inch.

∙ 13y agoStep 1: You can but a flexable Fencing/chicken wire material {gaps not exceeding 1/2 inch} at HomeDepot, or Lowe's. Coated wires are easier to clean and look nice longer. You should also purchase some cable ties, to hold the pieces together, and a large contained to act as the base/support/poop tray, for your glider cage.
Step 2: A. Decide on the size[{Glider cages should be atleast 2 ft wide, 1ft deep, and 3ft tall.} and make sure it'll fit snuggly into the container you purchased ]
B. Measure fencing, and cut with wire cutters. If you can bend part of the cage to get the desired shape instead of cutting the cage will look nicer.
Optional: You may want to have a raised platform in the cage, {about three inches or so above where the cage ends, spread a piece of wire mesh to cover the whole bottom and attach with cable ties. This will keep the gliders from walking in their droppings.
Step 3: Put a good amount of wood chips/ newspaper/ or leaves {whatever you chose to hide the droppings and supress the smell} inside the base/container and set your creation in it, making sure everything is secure.
Have fun!

∙ 12y agoThe sugar glider is a protected species and by Australian law it can not be kept in private enclosures... If you DO have a sugar glider in Australia then you or the "supplier" are involved in illegal animal smuggling...
As far as what sized cage- as big as possible- 50feet or more

A sugar glider is a small, nocturnal marsupial of the possum family (not opossums) about 16cm-21cm in length, and native to Australia, as well as some islands of Indonesia and New Guinea. Sugar gliders live about 12-15 years in captivity, and 1-6 years in the wild, due to predation by other animals. They have black-tipped tails, a black line down their back, (ending with an arrow on the head) and have 1-3 joeys at a time. They come in a variety of colors, including albino (very rare), cinnamon, red-brown and, most commonly, grey. Like other gliders, sugar gliders are unique in that they have a membrane of skin - patagia-membrane - which stretches from the fifth "finger" of each hand to the first toe of each foot, which enables them to glide between treetops. They do not fly, but are capable of gliding up to 100m.

This seems to depend on the type of leaves and bark given to the sugar glider, and of course the individual sugar glider.
