Thanks, my dad and I built that cage 
the whole roof came off for cleaning (or to fit through the door...) and the whole front panel was a door. ANd then there were a couple smaller doors cut into the wire.

Here's the diet I used, it's based on the SunCoast diet - http://www.sugar-gliders.com/glidervet-45.htm (scroll down to the end)
Every day they would get a fruit or veggie, a protein, and the pellet food (make sure it's soft)/
For veggies I would rotate between a dozen or so different things (apple, papaya, cantaloupe, watermelon, sweet potato, and a couple other things).
Protein rotated through yogurt (peach and blueberry), chicken, grasshoppers, and mealworms (mealworms are a FAVORITE and they're super cute when eating mealworms... it sounds like they're eating potato chips )
And then once a week, I'd feed the "casserole" described in that link.
I would mix vitamins in the yogurt, or if it was a non-yogurt day, mix them into an ounce of apple juice (that's what Hazel is drinking in that picture - it's a bird waterbottle, to no ball to clog with the vitamins or pinch their tongue.
For all the food, I would shred or puree it and freeze it in ice cube trays so I could have a variety without the food going bad before they could eat it.

I do have a question, though... do you know of a diet that involves making the frozen ice cubes of stuff (ie like BML, HPW, blended, etc.) that I can use the vitamin supplement that SunCoast sells with? I like the idea of those better than just sprinkling it on fruits/veggies and hoping they like it and the RepCal supplement is used in some of the diet plans. also, any advice you can give me on the whole Ca: P ratio thing would be lovely, as I'm a bit lost and http://www.glidercentral.net has been down ALL week
