My sister had one. They are very cute and affectionate, but also VERY fragile. Be sure you do your research before you make your purchase. Also... I cannot stress this enough... make sure that there is a vet in your area who is familiar with and has worked with sugar gliders BEFORE you buy one! If you can't find a qualified vet, don't buy a sugar glider. Chances are, it will need veterinary care at some point in it's life, and since they are not very common as pets, most vets have never worked with them before.
My sister's glider fell out of it's hammock while sleeping and injured it's spine, and because no vets in our area were familiar with the little creatures, they could not help it and it died
