Heat Rock

The most important thing you can do to ensure a healthy, happy, clean, and fluffy Sugar Glider, is to have a heat source in the cage. Sugar Gliders want to be kept at 80 to 85 degrees, for optimum comfort. Unfortunately, we do not keep our houses that warm. Therefore, many Sugar Gliders are kept too cold, and they suffer for it. Just the stress of being 10 degrees too cold for an extended time will cause the glider to get diarrhea and as a result start getting dehydrated. This sets up a situation where the glider is soiled and has odor problems.

The best solution we have found for all of this is to put a Heat Rock in the cage and put a tee shirt over it. A tee shirt is large enough to cover it well, and make numerous folds. The shirt will hold the heat in and the glider will find the perfect temperature to sleep in. When he is up and playing, he will go back to the warmth when he needs to to regulate his temperature. Since stressing the heat rock, we have nearly eliminated the problem of diarrhea among our customers babies.
