They're very easy to litter train, though I wouldn't recommend letting them have free roam of your place. They'll still manage to shit somewhere they shouldn't be.

Like Sugar Gliders, they are an "exotic" pet. Their diet isn't quite specific, most people feed them cat food and they love meal worms.
My breeder had one that escaped, and she found it on the opposite side of the house trying to poop in the cats litter box
