Unfortunately I don't have any first-hand experience about bringing a glider around; Foster was taken from his mother before his eyes were open and hand-raised by a human, so he has no desire to be anywhere but on me. The only suggestion I can think of (and this is in theory only) is to get into a closet, or the smallest room possible and let them play with you. If it's a closet or something, they probably will have to run over you many many times, and maybe will eventually get interested in you because the rest of the closet is just wall-space, and boring. I wish I knew from experience, but it took about 18 hours for Foster to be completely bonded. I've heard a lot of negative things about his not being raised by his mother, and I don't negate them at all, but it made the bonding process a snap. The only problem was that he was depressed for 12 hours or so after leaving his "mommy" (my breeder.)

Good luck!
