It would be unusual for a rodent to get rabies.
A captive raised animal such as this would have to be exposed to a rabid animal and bitten to get this disease. This site down the very bottom says they are not susceptible to it
http://www.critterhut.net/sugargliderfaq.htm
but I would say it would be unusual rather than impossible.
However any animal bite or scratch can become infected if not properly treated.

Hope this helps you!
