 new babies

I purchased my first gliders three weeks ago. Mom, Luna, dad Luca and baby Loki.
I was told they're three years old, the male is neutered. Their fur looks healthy, no yellow tint or cracking. I am worried that one is a little over weight. I'm being careful to limit the mealworms to about two per day, hoping they will eat more of their fruits and veggies. Are there any low calorie diets available? I'm also very minimal with the yogurt drops.
I had a problem the other day with Luna being aggressive over the mealworms. I'm trying freeze dried crickets instead since they're larger and while she's working on hers, I can give the other two their's.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Did I mention they're the cutest little guys ever??

My vet explained meal works like feeding them a cheeseburger every day. I only give my suggie's meal works (two small 2x per week). I feed them gutloaded crickets and put them in their childs tent to have fun hunting them down. They love it!

Thank you! I switched from the mealies to freeze dried crickets, less food aggression and I've read they're more nutritious.
