You ever have a pet rat drag their big ass balls across your face?
Well I haven’t either, but got close with a friend’s pet rat. (Btw,I grew up with dogs, made a living training dogs for some time, was even a “kennel coach” for some time at the local ASPCA!) But rats are pretty dope, and I will preach their awesomeness at any opportunity.
I think it’s a bilby. I’ve seen a few of these living out in the sticks and that’s what I know them as.
Their ball bag is huge for their size.
Edit: looks like I’m wrong. See below for corrections
A lot of little mammals are this way, pet rats for example

Get more then one! They are social creatures!
Bilbies are much bigger and their ears are huge, they look sort of like a marsupial rabbit with a large tail.
Bunch of pictures from a Taronga Zoo article:

It seems to be a western pygmy possum.
I think bilbies are a bit bigger. Definitely not a sugar glider - looks like a possum to me
