Hi Rosey,
You need to call a vet immediately.
In the meantime, offer him 'licky' foods and liquids every half hour (or so) through the night. Grab a pen and write everything down - from how he is acting to what and how much you can get him to eat/drink for you. This info will help the vet out tremendously and writing it down asap will help you to focus on him
- and not have to worry about leaving any possibly helpful information out when talking to the vet.

You need to take him to a Animal Emerg. Hosp ASAP.
Your little one is very ill. Do as Irish Cream suggested and also tuck him inside of your shirt to help keep him warm. When a Sugar Glider becomes dehydrated he will be unable to regulate his body temp. and he becomes cold.

Rush him to the vet ASAP. My glider died last night. He stayed with the vet overnight, but he was not able to pull through. It took me almost three hours to find a vet that would see him, and I can't help but think, "What if?" Keep him warm and get him medical attention fast. Until then, keep a list like Irish Creme suggested. Also try to write down how he has been acting recently and anything out of the ordinary that he could have eaten, maybe a new treat or if he had possibly gotten out of his cage recently. Also write down your diet so that your vet can see what he had been eating. My prayers will be with you and Micachoo. Please keep us all posted.
