Other Flying Squirrel Cage

xOfiNha · May 25, 2004

I got my flying squirrel on April 2003, at that time I didn't knew anything about flying squirrels

I brought him home 'cause he seemed so sad and in such a bad condition (he is blind from the left eye, due to a fight with another squirrel in the petstore). And only when I arrived home I started searching on the internet about them. At that time there was not much info

I bought a not very big cage

but quite expensive one

This is a pic of the cage in the first days:

Actually it is a bit different. What I want is a bit of help with some ideas so that I can make the cage a better place for my flying squirrel. Considering that I can't buy him a new one now.

Thanks

I think I haven't understand your idea

Can you try to explain that to me again?

Thanks

Do you think the cage is too small?

I am just trying to get some ideas for the "furniture".

Thanks

Look in the photo galleries under Baby Proofing and you'll see pictures of what cavylover's talking about.

I know he would really enjoy to have a bigger cage...but now it's not possible for me to buy him a new one or even build one

I am just trying to improve this one so that he feels better. I'll be placing some shelves, nest boxes and some new toys for him

This is how the cage is now. I'll be placing some shelves in there too, as soon as I find some good material for that.

maybe you could add like a swing under one of the boxes for him to glide 2. And add like a bell underneath the swing.

Can they glide for that short of a distance? I thought that they would need more space to do any serious gliding.

Martin's Cages makes nice cages for flying squirrels and they are affordable.

(broken link removed)

If you're handy at all, you can build a squirrel cage using a pine frame and 1/2" mesh hardwire cloth, but it would require a lot of thought and time to build.

Martin's makes excellent rat cages- like this one-

But- the other cages (hedgehog+guinea pig) are still a little small). I don't know how to juge a flying squirrel cage.
