Not rare at all, just not seen very often in some places.
As others have pointed out they are very delicate but they are also noisy (horrible screeching sounds) and smelly. Some are very nice and friendly, others are vicious little bastards so if you must have one, make sure to get a nice one to start with.
These animals need a lot of care. They need to be kept nice and warm and they eat a lot of food for their size. I would definitely consider them to be fragile and not for anyone that doesn't want to spend time daily taking care of them.
You can find flying squirrels for sale if you look around a bit, those are much better pets.
