Well, I have also read that if the babies are not genetically correct, the parents may cannibalize them as a protective factor. Are you certain that they are not related?

Another could be the feeling of them not being safe... do you have other animals around the house that may even SMELL threatening?

The calcium:phosphorus ratio may also be the problem... I would definatly suggest using Bourbon's version of leadbeaders as a balanced diet... maybe increasing the calcium and protien content a bit. Otherwise, make sure that the female is the one eating as much, if not more than the male glider. (when my glider was pregnant, I tended to feed her separately, so I was able to monitor what she was all eating)

Another thing is that maybe your female just ISN'T able to have babies for a variety of reasons... just like some humans.

Best of luck to you in your discoveries, my thoughts are with you.
