Sorry to hear about your sister sugar glider. Definitely, if he over-ate, he could have regurgitated afterwards. If lethargy, regurgitation or anorexia persists, a common factor between the two sugar gliders is a possibility. Possible ingestion of foreign material, toxins, etc. If you concerns continue, a veterinary examination is recommended, sooner than later. These small animals have little body reserves and need to eat daily to maintain their body temperatures and health.
