Review on ESK Collection ESK48 Blue Exercise Kennel by Kimberly King

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Sugar Glider Tent for time and travel ONLY (not a replacement for a permanent home)

Overall I really like this product. It was a hassle to get it as it was destroyed during shipping and never fully shipped so it took a few times to get a refund or replacement. Most of them waited for the return to expire until I requested a new one instead, which I received fairly soon after. (only about 2 months until I finally have it? I'm sure others may have better luck) I use this for my 5 sugar gliders they REALLY love them. I assume there is a hole in the side for a water bottle? I just hook it up to something my sugar gliders can't get through because I'm sure they'd happily squeeze through or try. It easily fits many toys, including a small three-story dollhouse. A proper glider bike should have no problem with how you can safely secure it so it doesn't tip over. The material is quite strong and I don't feel like I have to worry about them chewing through it. You never tire of trying, and the net seems like a lot of fun to run on. The only problem I think with both potty training and the sugar glider is that even with ground cover or a mat, debris can get under the mats and into the gap where you close it. So be prepared to rub and work on those details, but as long as the pup or animal you're trying to put there doesn't ruin a pillow or a well-fitting blanket, you might not have too much to worry about. simple! Love it, especially when you need to shove your furry little ones in asap. However, removal takes a little longer. You need to make sure nothing is bent oddly or has no resistance at all as this can damage the wires. I need to make sure all the creases and excess fabric stick out and sit perfectly on top of the other piece. So maybe less than 3 minutes for setup and around 5-10 minutes for cleaning after cleaning. Also a photo of one of my cats to show that even a couple of cats can sit inside safely and comfortably if you want to take them outside but not wander around. Our cats didn't mind the previous tent but it was too small so I know they will love this one when the weather warms up. The last picture is my bunch of gliders from when I was sleeping in the tent before opening them up to find them while we were on a holiday trip.) So you can see the little messes they can leave anywhere. but if you clean it well it should come out. If you have an unfixated man like me, then the smell lingers. I'm also sure you can rid yourself of this easily, but I use baby wipes or a lightly soaped cloth to clean it, but since the colony can become stressed in new places, their scent helps them adapt more easily. <3For a good size comparison, it's almost like having a single nation of story creatures. :) Hope this helps other glider pilot parents!
