Do you have a male glider? Does it smell a bit like old coffee? (I noticed that a coffee mug left sitting for a while after finishing smells exactly like sugar glider!) If so, this is probably just scent marking/urine odor. Usually, neutering males helps reduce the odor.
Also, you might want to try sniffing around in his cage to see if something in there smells particularly bad. Wood absorbs urine and can lead to unusually stinky cages.
How often are you cleaning his cage? Cleaning too often can result in the sugar glider scent marking even more.
