Awh, cute sugar glider. He/she is okay living by itself?
I have three sugar gliders that I've rescued. I rescued one first, but then she became depressed after about a year (even with me holding her eight hours a day while she slept in her pouch), so I rescued two others. Unfortunately the new pair didn't accept the original one to live with them, but just having additional suggies stopped the original one from being depressed (she started running in her wheel again, eating properly, etc).
Anyone seriously considering a sugar glider (or any animal for that matter) as a pet/companion needs to do a hefty amount of research. Sugar gliders do have a smell (especially the boys), require a specific diet, and can live as long as a dog. So you need to make sure that you're in it for the long haul.
99% of the "exotic" animals that I've rescued over the last seven years were purchased because they were "neat" and "cool"... the latest craze. As soon as the neatness wears off... that's when I get a phone call.
