Are exotic small mammals like sugar gliders and degus worth keeping?

Background

Sugar gliders captivate with their gliding, and degus recognise their people and chatter in a range of calls, so interest in both keeps rising. But both are highly social and often need same-species company, plus specialised diets, large cages and an exotic-savvy vet, making them more demanding than typical small pets. Research comes first.
