It's Saturday, but I've been teaching all day and haven't turned it off

sugar gliders, right?  The sugar gliders are superficially quite similar

And yes, the flying squirrels are out there in great numbers though rarely
seen.  I know they eat fruit among other things, so nectar does not seem
like much of a stretch.
