Reddit reviews HQ Flight Cage, Multi Purpose Aviary with Cart Stand, Black, 1 Per Box

That's her travel cage. She has a much, much larger cage that she sleeps in at night, and a medium sized one that I take along with her travel cage when we skip town for a few days. When we're home, she's generally out of her cage on one of her two giant manzanita trees. Yes...she has two.

She won't use huddle huts, and even if she did I wouldn't give her one. They trigger nesting behavior in hens and can lead to egg laying, which can in turn lead to calcium deficiency at best and fatal egg binding at worst.

If it were 50, I'd put a blanket over her and be done, but my glass of water on the coffee table literally froze overnight. Not completely, but enough to form a skin. I don't care how many blankets you put over a cage, unless you happen to own a Quaker, that's too cold for a bird.

I appreciate your concern, but I've had Kai for almost ten years. I know how to take care of her.

Since it's within your price range, I highly recommend the HQ Flight Cage, available on amazon.

Yeah a bigger cage ASAP this one is good and cheap http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B002UTZ040/ref=mp_s_a_1_6?qid=1398632507&sr=8-6&pi=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70

I like the horizontal bars, its size, the flat floor, large doors, and that you can expand it. I can only recommend it if you are willing to work on it, as it can be hard to put together and dangerous otherwise.

If the pieces were perfect, it would not be hard to put together. But some of the connections were bent and needed to be straitened, had a bad weld that made a gap, so had to be creative and a second set of hands to get it into place. It is just a one time headache and your set might be better.

For sugar gliders, you will want to not add the middle floor section, not adding it exposes holes, and then there is holes for where you can add the adjustable shelves.

The dangerous part is the holes have sharp edges, so they need to be filed smooth. Also, the punched out bit is still in the holes on most of them. They can be removed with needle nose pliers. If this is not done, I would worry about a curious sugar glider loosing a finger or whole hand...

The one I had before was the HQ Flight Cage https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B002UTZ040/ref=oh_aui_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It is a little smaller, but still a descent size, it has bars on the bottom and slide out floor under it, so with a bit of newspaper (or what ever you prefer) it was easy to clean it, the smaller doors can be an advantage if you have have trouble keeping the gliders inside when you open it.

I had it for three years, the main reason I replaced it is I did not like the vertical bars, even though I never had an issue, I worried about it hurting their feet, as they always slid down on the bars a bit and with the bars on the bottom, they did not have much flat ground to stand on. I also wanting something a bit larger.

Other wise, it was a great cage. It was easy to put together and the only adjustment I had to make was to zip tie shut the little bird doors on the top of it.

I looked into both cages, before getting them, to make sure they were not coated with anything toxic to sugar gliders, which is the main issue with cheap bird cages.

Tell the shmoops auntie BFK says they gotta start changing with the times! Sorry kiddos! You'll thank momma SOL later. :)

I was actually going to recommend either the A&E flight cage or the HQ flight cage. Which are both exactly like the King's cage you link but a lot cheaper on Amazon! I've heard good things about both brands so you probably can't go wrong saving yourself some money.

OR if you wanna go SUPER crazy both companies also make a double flight cage version (for basically double the price). A double flight cage made by the brand "mcage" is much cheaper, but suspiciously so. It's probably just a chinese knockoff of the above two brands so YMMV in terms of quality.

Damn, I'm so new to this shopping market, any recommendations? There was one recommended by someone else here in my post and it looks nice!

If you're willing to spend around $160 on a cage, I highly recommend the HQ Flight Cage.
