They're a lot of work. You chop veggies/fruits like I said. Jacob is on what's called the high-protein wombaroo diet, which means in addition to the veggies he eats a special protein supplement mixed with bee pollen and eggs that I make for him. Gliders need a very careful diet with a closely monitored phosphorus to calcium ration.
They're nocturnal. In Jacob's case if I put my hand in his sleeping pouch to wake him up during the day he'll bite me. They do bite, especially ones that are scared or have just been brought home. It's not horribly painful, and Jacob has never drawn blood on me. They're super active at night though. They bark,crab, run in their wheels, shake the cage, ect.
They need an hour of 'tent time' every night. Which is where I put up a little pop tent in my bedroom and sit in there with him while he runs around. Without human interaction, especially if you only have one glider, you can run into the problem of them picking holes in their skin out of boredom (it's called over-grooming).
All gliders, but especially the males, have a musky smell a bit like a ferret. It's not near as strong as a ferrets though. If you don't clean the cage at least once a week it can become pretty noticeable.
They're really great little pets. Just ones you have to know what you're jumping into from the get go. If you really are thinking about them then this huge article on GliderCentral has pretty much anything you could wanna know. :D
