Sugar Gliders are wonderful furries with a lot of personality but they can get very tempermental sometimes if they don't get their way. When looking for one, their coats should be shiny and look healty, clear eyes and all the other basics you'd want to look for pretty much like puppies..

The link below should actually help you out...this is from SunCoast Sugar Gliders..they are great people and Lisa (the breeder) has a ton of experience with gliders...

my best friend's sister owned a northern flying squirrel named rocky that she found in her parents yard as a baby and raised. He was one of the most tame squirrels i have ever met and you could not help but fall in love with him..hehe of course he wasnt a glider but man..he was just as adorable.

This so sucks. Sugar gliders come from my country, but if you get caught with one, without a special rescue permit and the intention to release... BIG FINES!

Can't be kept as pets here and I would confidently say that the majority of the population has never seen a live one.

A Sugar Glider is Switzerland would be VERY lost!

I think they make great pets if you get them from a reputable dealer and have the time to spend with them. I lost mine to the most common ailment of them, Hind Leg Paralysis.

I think I had an excpetional one. She would sit in my shirt pocket, let me scratch her on the head, and eat food out of my hand. The most amazing thing is that she would start "barking" at night anytime I was having a nightmare (common at that time) and wake me up. She stayed in her bird cage during the day, and at night, I opened up and she wandered around the bedroom all night. Every morning, she was righ back in her box in the cage. I would just close the cage before I left in the morning. The only problem I ever had was her eating habits. I had to mount large paper on the walls around her cage. She would eat the fruit and when she got to pieces she didn't like or were to small, she flung them out the back of the cage at the wall. So I basically had cage lining under her and behind her. It will freak any new owner out the first time they yawn. The bottom teeth are retractable. When she would yawn, the bottom teeth came out and went up above her nose. Good thing she was not a biter. That would have hurt. I will say that if you have one, you have to spend alot of time with them. If you have two, then they will socialize to each other and not you.
