Not at all. Both sugar gliders and bats are mammals, but that is where the connection ends.
Sugar gliders are marsupials and members of the Australian possum family, while bats are placental mammals. Sugar gliders are also not capable of free flight. Bats are the only mammals that can fly.

∙ 13y agoNo, bats are flying mammals and rats are rodents. I have no idea why people think they're the same. I remember watching Batman Forever, Nicole Kidman's character said a bat's a rodent, and batman, being into bats would know, saying bats ARENT rodents.
Answer
Bats come from the Order Chiroptera and rats and mice come from the Order Rodentia. Coming from different orders, they cannot come from the same family. There are many families of bats and many families of rodents, and of course there is no overlap between them.
