As for the baby question you need to answer some questions first.  How old are the gliders? Are they related? Do you know if she's been pregnant before? What diet is she on? Where did you get them from? As for the bonding I would suggest keeping her and her mate, in a pouch and putting that in your shirt to limit the stress.  If they are crabbing too much put them back in the cage. until the babies are weaned its very important to limit the moms stress.  Make sure you increase her protein and calcium.  You can hand feed her meal worms (protein)and yogurt (calcium) drops and that will also help with the bonding. I just went through the same thing and the female rejected her babies it was not fun. As for feeding the babies you leave that up to the parents unless they abandon or abuse them.  Here's a really good website on breeding and stuff.    http://www.crittervillerescue.com/  If you have any questions feel free to e-mail me ittybittycc@hotmail.com

You should have bonded and read more about them, sorry for the critisism but it looks like you didn't think they were so hard to look after, when she has the baby in her pouch you can still bond with her, and bond with her when dad is taking care of the children, I hope I helped.
