I am unsure about the pom pom. But I do know I feed Percy necterines and pears, peaches and cherries. Though they do reccommend feeding more protien. Try Bourbon's leadbeaters. Check the links page for the sight. It seems to be the easiest and most healthy diet I can find. I freeze mine in ice cube trays and Percy eats it like ice cream. also feed some vegetables to your gliders. don't feed cheese or actual milk. Everyone can't agree whether gliders are lactose intolerant but I find it better to just be careful. Also a few meal worms a day would be wonderful for your baby.
Nest Boxes are frowned upon. Get a pouch or a ferret sleeping couch. they sell those at superpetz and possibly petsmart. The T shirt idea is only bad because the little fibers might get wrapped around little legs. Nest boxes are also very hard to get your glider out of if you want to carry them somewhere or play.
I do hope I answered every thing I could. Have fun and make sure you have a good vet.
