Sugar Gliders aren't rodents. They are marsupials from Indonesia and Australia. They live in family groups in the wild, and so need constant attention.

The need a lot of space and a lot of time, and if you aren't up to handling that for the next 15 years, don't get one. They take a lot of patience at first, as most infants are feral, but once tamed are a joy to have. They sleep during the day and are up at night, so be warned, that is when they will expect to play.

They cannot control their bowels, so don't get one if you can't handle being piddled on every once in a while.

You also must give them a soft pellet as well as a small amount of fruit with a calcium powder sprinkled on it like salt. Insects are a must, as is Gliderade, which offers them everything they need to maintain a healthy amount of energy.

If you are thinking about one, do your research.
