I'm getting a pair on Saturday, you should check out some more sites on your own and do some research. They're not like rabbits which evolved in Europe among other places, they're from Australia and Indonesia. Those are very warm places, not only do they need to be in room temperature protected from outdoor elements, they also need a hear rock or heat lamp in one area of the cage to keep them warm.

As with rats, mice, gerbils and many exotics of similar size, having only one is never recommended. In the wild they live in groups of sizes up to 40 individuals, and it's really not fair to them that you're asleep for most of the time they're awake and they'll be lonely for most of their lives.

Do a lot of research on this site as well as others. Here are some videos I suggest as a new parent as well - http://www.youtube.com/user/sugarglidervet

That channel has some great care videos, including information on potty training, diet, cage size, etc. He's the top suggie vet in the US, so I'd definitely listen to what he's got to say. Good luck in your suggie education! I hope they prove to be the right pet for you.
