Sugar gliders are nocturnal by nature – meaning that they generally like to stay up at night. However, you can train them – like a child – to be on whatever schedule fits your lifestyle. Over the years, we have found that most people actually LIKE to leave their Gliders “nocturnal”, because this way when they are at work or school, the Gliders are just sleeping and not “missing” their owners. Then when you get home, the Gliders are happy to see you. If you can carry your Glider(s) with you during the day they are even happier; since they get to sleep in your pocket or pouch, and be with their “mom” or “dad” at the same time.
Since they naturally like to play in their cage at night like little “acrobats”, the main thing you will want to consider – as far as “noise” goes – is the type of TOYS you get them. Gliders typically do not make much noise themselves, but they WILL definitely play with whatever you put in their cage. That's why we've got a variety of GliderSafe toys on our website that will make it easy on you to keep your sugar glider entertained :-).
Here's an example of one of our amazing Sugar Glider Toys, the Hide-A-Treat.
