Adorable! Are they difficult to train and care for? I thought sugar gliders were cute too but heard they require tons of attention and have very sensitive diets.

They're very easy to care for. We use big rubbermade clear storage containers. Each container gets a wheel, food bowls, fleece blankets and a litter pan. We have a few wire cages, but the storage containers are the most commonly used hedgehog "cage".
They're nocturnal. Ours get up each night from around 8pm and play until 2am or so and go back to sleep.
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.
