re: setting up temporary cage at work

Question
I am thinking about buying a pair of sugar gliders. Would they be okay and develop normally in a temporary small cage for a couple hrs during the day for snacking and fluids and a couple hrs in pouch with me the other couple hrs? or Can they be left alone at home for 7 hrs and be fine?

Answer
if you are talking about during the day sugar gliders are nocturnal creatures so they would be sleeping all day and are up at night, you can still put them in a pouch and carry them around with you while they sleep during the day to start the bonding if you want....so it wouldnt matter where they were in during the day but at night while they are up the cage should be a fair good sized one....
