I too purchased gliders way too young from an inexperienced breeder. Mine were almost 4 weeks oop. A good friend of mine who I met online, raises gliders in Texas. She instructed me to feed powdered puppy milk replacement mixed with Gerber's baby cereal, which I did, and introduced warmed Leadbeaters.Because they were so young, I had it in a dropper, then on my fingers. Tried baby food fruit too. Then every spare moment I had at home, I carried them with me in my shirt or pouch. They eventually calmed down and are fine. I have had mine for a year and a half now and they are real sweeties. Good luck with yours.
