Potentially.
In their native habitat of Australia, sugar gliders do not carry rabies, as rabies is not present in Australia. Where they have been introduced to other countries as exotic pets, they naturally become susceptible to diseases such as rabies in that country.
It should be noted that members of the possum family are less likely to carry rabies than placental mammals.
