Pet Sugar Glider

A clean environment will help to keep your sugar gliders and other small animals healthy. It is essential to do a thorough cleaning of the cage once a week (this varies depending on cage size and number of occupants) and a spot cleaning once or twice during the week. Urine in the cage transforms into ammonia, which is very harmful to a small animals respiratory system. Moist bedding and litter can cause fungus growth. Fecal matter, especially if it is an area where it is getting wet, can give rise to harmful bacteria that can be ingested or even inhaled making your small pet ill.
