I just recently got my first sugar glider, Ewok. He is 4 mo. old, tame to humans at purchase, and constantly wants attention. The reason for this post is that I have occasionally heard him making odd breathy noises that I cannot find descibed on the net or in books. It sounds almost like a sneeze, but it's not (I've heard him sneeze before). It almost sounds like a human pronouncing the letter "S". It doesn't seem to be a problem breathing, because it isn't constant. Has anyone else heard this sound before? What is he trying to communicate?

Proud parent of Ewok
