Hello, Maria!

I'm not an expert on the gliders but i managed to nurse to help my baby to health with the same problem. What saved my gliders life is Neo-Calglucon Syrop, which is the liquid form of calcium. I was given him .50cc of it avery twelve hours (using surrenge). You can purchase this syrop or alike medicine in almost any Vet Hospital, just call around if you decide to do use it. It's pretty expensive: I paid $32.00 for 8 oz, however i have almost the whole bottle left for the future use. If you really suspect hind leg paralysis don't wait to start treatment. If you notice him shaking too much reduce the dosage. Don't add any other calcium supplements or vitamins except for maybe vit D3 supplement.

I also use the baby sereal, it's high in Ca especially if you choose Heinz instead of Gerber brand.

Good luck with your babies. You have a hand full. Keep us all posted on their progress.

I hope that will help you some.
