What is better than a pair of sugar gliders? A family!

Sugar gliders are colony animals who need the comfort of other sugar gliders to remain healthy and happy.

Sugar gliders form special bonds with their offspring and mates. Keeping them together ensures that bond remains intact. Colonies can live together but males must be neutered to prevent inbreeding within the colony. Here at Hope for Gliders we make sure all males are neutered.

We have colonies of up to 6 gliders that live in peace and harmony that are looking for loving homes. When you adopt a colony cage you will enjoy seeing them interact, play and even show compassion to each other. We have seen acts of kindness between the gliders that are amazing. Holding hands, hugging, sharing of foods and treats is not unusual behavior. When you adopt a colony cage you have just one cage to was. Some will put in several feeding stations, but we have not found this to be necessary in most of the colony cages.

Large cages, up to 6 feet are recommended and we can help to show you some different options for cage styles. Multiple pouches, toys and wheels provide enrichment and sleeping places for gliders who need a break from being stepped or who need a little alone time. 

Bonding with a colony cage is no different than with a pair, you can take them all out for playtime and bonding together, as well as spending some time with each glider individually.

We hope you will consider adopting a family of gliders into your home and heart.

Meet Marshall, Markie, Bella, and Bindi. This glider family came to Hope for Gliders from a pet store that closed down. This colony is looking for a loving home with an experienced glider owner.
