You need to get them on one of the recommended diets..... It's not wise to just feed them random things because they like it. Ca: P ratios need to be figured out.

In general though,
the Ca: P ratio should be as close to 2:1 as you can get it
and they require a protein source, fruits and veggies everyday.

give them some scrambled eggs with the veggies and fruit till you can get them on a good diet(for some diets you have to buy some things online) and you just got them it could take weeks to months for them to bond with you. just keep talkin to them and get a bonding pouch to carry them around in the house. and get a tent and some toys and they will get used to you sooner or later.

Bonding takes a lot of time. Bonding pouches help, doing licky treats, etc. Ive also found that Cammi loves it when I sit by her cage and just talk to her. She'll jump right on my hand when I put it in her cage after I've sat and talked to her for a while. And she makes this chirping noise at me when i pet her and talk to her.
Tent time is fun. Toys help, too. Patience is really the key though.
And I agree with Shadow as far as diets go.

HPW is a good diet. www.thepamperedglider.com has the best deals as far as price for the wombaroo powder and bee pollen and you can even order just enough to make one batch (enough to last a couple of gliders five or six weeks I think) for only $2 and free shipping, so you can at least find out how you like the diet before you spend a lot of money on all the ingredients.

Thing that you have to remember with gliders though is the calcium. Calcium is very important. I created a selection of fruit and veggie recipes with the correct 2:1 ratio already worked out. Further info on them as well as instructions on how to make them are available at the following links.
