On the NFSA boards, the participants label themselves as HOF's.
HOF stands for Human Owned by a Flyer.
There are 3 similar species that people mistake for a single one.
Sugar gliders (marsupials i think),
Southern flying squirrels, and Northern flying squirrels.
Sugar gliders and Southern flyers are the most common pets.
I'd recommend Southern over gliders because i believe gliders have a strong odor being a marsupial, (but i may be mistaken).
If you do decide to get a FS, i'd do a lot of research and ask questions on the nfsa boards.
Flying squirrels take it to a different level when it comes to care and attention, compared to something like a hampster or gerbil. They Crave and NEED attention, similar to the more-intelligent pet birds. Plus remember they are nocturnal so they may not keep the exact hours as you (though they will play in the daytime just as well as the night time).
