Don't forget to load up on the protein too.

That percentage is questionable. Best to give a higher percentage of protein for growing joeys. 50% fruits by 50% protein. Crickets are higher in protein. Always choose fruits that have higher calcium ratio over phosphorus as the main, fruits that are vice versa should only be given occasionally. Sweet fruits are preferred by gliders, so testing a bit before hand would be good. Some gliders won't touch fruit that are not sweet until they are really hungry, which you shouldn't resort your glider to doing. And believe me, some times fruits can taste so bland that it make me lose my appetite.

Adults don't need so much protein, so you can reduce to the 25/75 percentage. But once in a while a little boost in protein wouldn't hurt.

No, you don't NEED to feed your gliders pinkies. Some gliders don't like them though.

Jamien, I believe you will find your anticipated SG to be an imtimate companion, like Ah Pit happily stoning there on the shoulder.
After many months of relationship building with my gliders, they have become intimate with me now.
When i let them out during play time, usually at my workstation at home, i will put on a sweater.
While i work on my PC, my glider will be roving in and out of my sweater. Sometimes will perch on my shoulder. And i will also hand feed them mealworm treats and stroke them as well. Usually and mostly, they will be hanging around close and not wander off. Wearing a sweater or garment with sleeves will prevent skin allergy.
But we must be extra careful not to accidentally sit or lean our back on them.
