Because they can take a year to tame, and when I say tame, I mean they are still a wild animal that prefers the company of it's own kind rather than humans. Before you tame them they bite and growl and scratch. You cannot litter train a sugar glider and they will poop and pee on you, sometimes out of malice, one of our sugar gliders does this any time you pick her up. They also require a varied diet, the "sugar glider pellets" they sell in pet stores do not meet their nutritional requirements. Their diet isn't really that difficult but it requires that you cut up fresh food for them every night, much more of a pain in the ass then just pouring a bowl of pellets for them. They also throw their food, we cut up their food into nearly bite sized pieces, because if you don't, they will throw it when they are done, and when I say they throw it I mean, in the morning you find food like 5 feet from the cage. They also are nocturnal, which means they bark and play with each other only at night, and they greatly dislike any bright lights. So yeah, they are not that great of a pet, think of them more like an exotic animal. I can say however they love to cuddle and sleep in pockets, our two youngest gliders love to sleep in our pockets during the day and they are super cute. Also, here is a pic of the brother climbing one of our trees on the patio.
