Sounds like normal glider hours to me. Mine get up around 11PM, and if I'm lucky they'll still be up (ona dn off) the next morning.

This is usual for sugargliders. Exept mine wake up at 7:00 pm. Sometimes I take one of them out in the day, and pet it so it will get use to me. If I take them all out at the same time they'll all try to hide in a dark place. I take them out at night, at that time their running all over the place. I believe your sugargliders have a normal sleeping habit...

You can wake them up at the same time every evening. This will get them on a regular waking schedule and won't be stressfull for them. This will also give you more time to play with them. Try gradually waking them a little earlier every day to get them closer to the time you want them to wake every day. Then start their schedule of waking the same time everyday, like 7 or 8 pm. If I didn't wake mine at 8:00 she would sleep until 11 or 12. Then I would not be able to play with her everynight. I hope this helps. Good luck!

sounds normal to me...when i got juno she was very skittish, ran everywhere looking for a dark spot when i turned on my desk lamp (i use a low-W green bulb now, btw), once she became comfortable she would just sit and do nothing when the light came on (she still does this if i have to turn on a real light). she usually becomes active inside her nestbox (speaker...long story...) around 8 or 9, bumps around a little inside, and then comes out to play and eat around 10 or whenever the lights go off (10pm and 730am is when i have timers set). it's really important to keep the lights either off or as low as possible, when the lights are on i could swear juno was really a lizard, and when i turn them off she bounces off the walls...keep it dark when you want to play, and light during the day when they sleep itll help establish a more normal sleeping routine...
