Answer
Dear Petra:

  In the wild, sugar gliders live in colonies of multiple gliders.  They are social animals and they play, sleep, eat together.  We always recommend having a friend for your glider, because being nocturnal, no matter how much time you spend with them, they will still be alone during their waking hours while you are asleep.  

   If your sugar glider has plenty of toys and you spend many hours with it each day, it will not die from being alone, but it would be happier with a friend.
