sugar gliders noises, constant hissing

anyone who knows anything about sugar gliders…

so I’ve had my gliders for almost a year now, a boy and a girl, and the boy has always been a whiney @$$ and starts barking as soon as the lights go out but that doesn’t happen so much anymore now that he’s in a separate diet cage because he was getting too fat .-. well this happened a few times in the past and I can’t find it online anywhere, he will be hissing ALL NIGHT LONG. not just for a couple seconds every once in awhile, ALLL NIGHT LONGGG. all the websites and books I’ve looked at say they hiss occasionally when they’re going to the bathroom or waking up but trust me neither is the case. I don’t think it’s a uti or anything seeing as it’s been months, but whattt is WRONG??

From a breeders website

Sugar gliders are noisy, and worse, they are noisy all night long. Being a NocturnalAnimal, they are awake when you are sleeping and they are sleeping when you are awake. Not only is it hard that you miss most of their awake time, but their barking and crabbing and hissing and various cage noises, including clanks, bangs and constant exercise wheel’s running, can keep you up at night
