H2O - Indoor Water Feature - Sugar Glider Habitat

[Silvia1826]

Cute idea but sugar gliders don't float. Make sure that the pool is really shallow in case they do fall into it. I'd be more worried about them getting wet and then getting sick.

WOW!! I would love to have something like this for my two joeys!! What a cool enclosure!!

Are you kidding?! They cant swim! They don't need to bathe either, this is like making a pond for cats to swim in. Completely unsafe and unnecessary

@silkendrava Sugargliders can swim, its just rare to see cause they live in the trees.

This is a cool idea. Our winters are so long and I would love to have a running water feature in my house. Thanks for sharing this with me!

i hope you know that the main cause of death of sugar gliders is drowning ;) they cant swim what so ever. but if it works out, this is a great idea :)

Good info... Thanks... The pond part will have plenty of stuff for here to be able to get out if she was to fall in... My original plan was to use the pond for wintering over some floating plants... Water Lettuce and Water hyacinth... So she will have them for life rafts...

ok well then thats good. i dont have sugar gliders quite yet, but ive done tons of research on them. im planning to get 2 or 3 of them and possibly mating them to sell through my local total pet :) so im gonna try and get a job there before i do anything :) u think thats a good idea at all? since u have sugar gliders i figure i should ask

[Garnko13]

no you have wrong info glider can swim all they want the main reason drownings are a main cause is because they get stuck in toilet bowls and cant get out they loose all their energy trying to get out that they drowned they can swim.

[Garnko13]

but i still wont use this for a glider. not the best idea

[ZEROPOINT132]
