It's hard to say exactly what's going on. The first thing that comes to my mind with your description is how much corn are you feeding? Corn is very high in phosphorus and can cause gliders to be unable to process the calcium from other foods. The calcium/phosphorus ratio should be 2:1. Are you giving any form of calcium suppliments? They do get calcium from the bones of the pinky mice but it sounds like they are just getting a few of those.

Well, anyway...that's just what I first thought of...maybe someone else might have a different idea
