MEDICAL GRADE FINISHES

Certain companies that sell Sugar glider cages tout a 'Medical Grade Finish' ... this is a ploy to get you to buy their cage. There is no such thing.

The medical profession does not make Sugar glider cages, nor do they make the wire used for Sugar glider cages. The only 'Medical Grade wire' available is Medical Grade Stainless Steel ... and Sugar glider cages are not made from this material, the bar spacing is too large (1 inch). Some larger parrot cages with 1 inch bar spacing (not suitable for Sugar gliders) are made from this 'Medical Grade' stainless steel (very expensive) ... but again, are made for parrots .. not Sugar gliders. The bar spacing is much too wide for Sugar gliders which require 1/2 inch bar spacing.

Do not be fooled into thinking that a company offering 'Medical Grade' wire or 'Medical grade' finish ... offer something different ... they doen't. What they actually offer is a powder coat finish ... the same as our cages (with the exception of our PVC coated cages).

The bar spacing on our cages is ½ inch wide and the wire construction is finished in a heavy powder coated (animal safe) paint containing no lead or zinc. This is the best finish available for Sugar glider cages.
