I recently got 2 but today I went to give them a treat at the bottom of the cage and they came to investigate and ignored the treat no crabbing or noise and bit hard 1 on the back of my hand and the other my arm not enough to draw blood but i pulled my hand back and they followed I don't think they did it out of aggressiveness this is the first time they ignored this treat is this part of the bonding process?

I can only tell you from mine, when ONE barks the other 5, ALL OF THEM,
freeze and refuse to move.
I have read that most people are not sure why they bark.
I take it as an alarm, telling all the other glider to stop and don't move
until I stop barking when the danger has passed.

I could be wrong, but if they are excited why would they all freeze the
entire time one is barking. same with wanting to play, wouldn't they be
moving around like a dog does? moving, jumping, climbing and barking to play?

crabbing is very normal and natural. Let them crab, dont worry about it.

I wouldnt worry to much about the small bites either. give them more time
for the new home and new giant human.

I think they're still young the mosaic male is o.o.p 2018 and the dark female o.o.p 2016 the male who I named kodo seems to like me more where the female podo constantly crabbs at me but is only day 5 since I got them

I would say NO.

first thought, you had a yummy smelling scent on you and they were tasting it.

my gliders will get on my arm sometimes and start hard grooming, hard nibbling
or hair pulling. I gently push them away if they do this, they won't stop grooming
until they are happy they have done a good job for me. If they are gentle I let
them continue.

they are young? and testing their surroundings. The alpha glider letting you
know they are boss?

I had separate colonies at one time, after feeding and touching one colony I went
to the other colony and the alpha smelled the other gliders and bit and jumped and
ran and bit again, freaking out. you have dog, cat scents?
