:This is very normal. When I first got my second SG, Felix, he was very freaked out and had what I would call super glider strength. He actually lifted the cage doors, something my other male hadn't done and my new one was only a baby! I had to take safety pins to secure the doors. He calmed down within 24 hours and now is best friends with my other SG, Fievel. I think they just have to get use to their environment and any new Sg's that are there.
: Of course this is normal, you are a giant to them. It will take a good week for them to settle down. Have you place a shirt in their cage with your scent on it? Here is a good site for information on bonding and trust building.

: Give yourself and your gliders a chance. A lot of patience, love and trust goes along way.

: Hope this helps....
