Safe Wheels for Sugar Gliders and Wheel Warnings
Wheels that have crossbars are very dangerous for Sugar Gliders tails. Wheels that have a middle bar are meant for animals without tails. Wheels with metal mesh can damage a gliders palms. Wheels that have a diameter smaller than 12 inches do not provide adequate resistance or exercise for these high energy animals. Wheels that do not have mesh tracks should not be used for gliders because they defecate while running. If your wheel has a solid ground it IS breeding bacteria and this could damage your gliders health.
