I have two sugar gliders. You have to play with them every night since they are nocturnal for about 1 hour or more. Mine wake up at around 10:30-11:30 pm so I'm up with them until about 1 am. They do require a special diet though and you cant just buy it off the shelf at a pet store you have to mix it up your self. You have to chop up fruits and veggies every night as well. They can be very noisy as well. Sometime mine will bark during the night and its really loud. They have their own room and even with the door closed I can still hear them barking. Its really cute though but not when its at 4 in the morning lol.

HTH :)

I used to have one but gave it away. They're very cute, and if you have the time to devote to them (carrying them around hours a day), they make nice little companions.

The downsides:

- they make a tremendous mess. If you don't have them in a sealed plastic cage, they somehow manage to fling feces 10 or 20 feet away and piss on everything as well. They will chew anything they can get their teeth into. If you can't devote that time to them, they will forget you're nice and start biting you again and running away from you every time you try to pick them up.

I have had about seven. I bred them, it was awesome. Get one from a breeder, not a pet store. They don't get handled enough at pet stores and become aggressive. They can bite you good if not trained properly. They take a large cage and a lot of love. But are amazing pets.

any pet is needy, how much time and devotion are you willing to spend on a pet...
