When letting your sugar gliders out to play, it is always a good idea to "glider-proof" the room first. Removing any dangerous situations that the sugar glider could get into can save it's life.

• Never leave gliders unsupervised: They must be watched at all times to ensure their safety, even if you have a glider proofed room. Sugar gliders are very curious by nature, and always seem to find a way into trouble.
• Glider proof a proper room: Choose the safest room to glider proof. Laundry rooms are not generally acceptable, as they can easily make their way into the washer and dryer. Since dryers have a hose that leads outside, it would be very easy for your sugar glider to make it outside. Walk in closets and bedrooms make the best rooms to glider proof.
• Remove other pets or other sugar gliders: No matter how much you trust your pets not to do any harm to your sugar gliders, please remove them from the room during play time. Animals can act on their instincts fast, and for no reason.
• Close off cracks, holes, fireplaces and vents: Seal and close off anything you can fit more than a finger in. Be sure that you close it off properly. Sugar gliders are very smart so make sure the seal is secure and there is no possible way the glider an get break through.
• Close windows, doors, cabinets, and drawers: Be sure that windows and doors are shut. Place a sign on the door when your glider is out of the cage to warn others, especially if your glider room opens to the outside.
• Plug outlets, and remove excess cords: Be sure to unplug everything, and use child safety plugs to close off electrical outlets. Remove any cords or electrical items as possible from the room.
• Remove dangerous furniture: Sugar gliders can be caught in recliner chairs, futons, and some gliding chairs. These items should be removed before the sugar glider is let out to play.
• Cover open water and toilets: Sugar gliders can not swim. Cover or remove standing water such as fish tanks and toilets. Remember, toilets are especially dangerous, I recommend that you fold a towel between the lid and seat to ensure your sugar glider does not get in. Some sugar glider owners recommend a toilet ladder, which hooks on to the side of the toilet bowl for them to grab on to and get out.
• Keep the glider room clean: Remove any garbage, laundry, or excess clutter. Be sure to keep a lid on any trash cans in the area. Remove any harmful items such as chemicals, medicines, unsafe house plants, and food.
• Turn off fans, space heaters and appliances: Be sure that all fans, including ceiling fans, are turned off. Be sure to remove any space heaters or other items that create hot surfaces to ensure your sugar glider doesn't get burned or injured. Unplug and cover any appliances that can harm your glider, such as paper shredders, VCR's, and printers.
