Either you have asked this question before or someone in your same situation did.
Gliders don't even get up until between 10pm-midnight. If you are in school, you should be in bed by then getting your rest for the next day.
So, my answer to your question, would be that at this point in your life, a glider probably isn't the best choice of pet for you. Maybe in a few years when you have more time to devote to them.
They are wonderful pets, but they require an EXTREME amount of time for bonding and their diets/eating habits can be frustrating as well as expensive.
Speaking of expense, the vet bills can also be very high.
Do you have a job or are your parents willing to take on this expense.
Just some things to think about. Speaking from personal experience, one of the sweetest, loving and easiest pets to care for I have ever had is a rat. Yes, that's right. I still have her. They bond almost instantly and they are very easy to care for.
I also have four SG, but I am well PAST school age.
Good luck in your decision.
