Spider Sugar Bear

    
   
 
Sugar Bears can act a lot like spiders at times. They love to climb all over the place. A Sugar Bear's natural habitat is in the rain forest, so it is obvious why they would love to jump around so much.

This can develop into a problem when they are at a young age. You also want to make sure you have the proper cage, because some Sugar Bear cages can be deadly to most Sugar Bears. You may think any rickety, old cage will do, but that is a dangerous misconception.

Sugar Bears need a specialized cage to keep them safe while climbing around. Just about all cages used to house animals are made with metal, round bars. This does not benefit your Sugar Bear at all. While at a young age, their cute hands are not fully developed and can be harmed by these bars. They do not serve very well when trying to keep a good grip and may cut your pocket pets hands. The specialized cages are made with square shaped bars that are covered in a plastic coating. This is to prevent any cuts on your little friend’s hands and the Sugar Bears will love it. The rubber coating will allow them to grip better and will help them climb around their cage freely.

The metal, round bars are not only harmful to your pocket pet's hands, they can actually cause death. How would harmless metal bars kill your Sugar Bear? Believe it or not, these bars contain zinc which is a powerful poison to your Sugar Bear. Zinc is absolutely deadly to a Sugar Bear of any age. Sugar Bears are constantly touching the bars of their cage constantly whether it be rubbing on them or climbing them. The zinc will easily rub off onto your Sugar Bear's coat and hands and will eventually be ingested when they begin self-grooming themselves.
