With so many animals in the house, I don't think it would be fair to your sugar gliders. They are very special, and a house full of animals is dangerous. You have to pay attention to all your animals and spending time with your sugar gliders would me neglecting your other animals and vice versa. They really need to be the only animal in the house. These are so delicate, I suggest getting another animal similar to the Sugar Glider that doesn't require so much care and attention. That way, all your animals are happy. I'm sorry if my adivice angers you. I really am trying to be helpful.
