Other possibilities are that the glider is overgrooming or that there is an illness. Both cases need to be seen by a vet, as overgrooming can very quickly lead to self mutilating.

Do you have to have two sugar gliders?
It is highly recommended to get two sugar gliders. The reasoning is that sugar gliders are colony creatures, and therefore do better when they have another glider friend. In fact -- sugar gliders that are kept as singles often self mutilate, overeat (or under eat -- neither are healthy), and/or over groom. It is also very commonly observed that single sugar gliders groom less, are less active, meaner, and less healthy than sugar gliders that are kept with a companion. You should also realize that keeping two sugar gliders is no harder than keeping one... It's actually a lot more fun to have two!

How do sugar gliders survive droughts?
Sugar gliders, like all Australian native marsupials, are well adapted to the ever-changing conditions in Australia, and that includes being able to withstand drought. they do not need to drink a lot of water; their bodies are able to extract much of their moisture needs from the food they eat. In their native environment, sugar gliders feed on tree sap, nectar, some fruits and a variety of small insects such as mealworms, beetles, crickets, grasshoppers, lerps and moths. They prefer sap and resin from trees such as eucalyptus (gum trees) and acacia (wattle). These remain in plentiful supply during drought, as it takes a very long time for gum trees and wattles to succumb to lack of water.
