Congrats lmdang, your spotting is featured in the Project Noah blog to celebrate Australia Day! http://blog.projectnoah.org/post/41448401464/a-brief-history-of-australian-mammals
The biggest problem with attracting and keeping sugar gliders is nesting holes. They like the kind of high up tree boles that only develop in very old, or still-standing dead, trees. We only have one very old tree on our 15 acres, and a striated pardolotte (a small bird) pair nests in its nice big bole every year. I'm surprised that something bigger hasn't dislodged them yet, so I'm thinking that the male must be very aggressive.
I'm not so sure - esp if they were so small. Do you know if it had a big fluffy black tail, or a quite thin brownish tail. (I'm thinking Eastern Pygmy Possum)?
