Ok, I posted this once but only got one reply.

How many mealworms can i feed buttons each night? I am currently feeding him 3 a night.

And is juice ok to give him in a water bottle? In addition to water of course.

The ammount of mealwroms depends on you diet...what diet are you feeding? Juice is an ok treat once or twice a week..but not too often. Make sure you don't give so much juice that the glider ignires their food that night.

I always give juice in a dish that is different than their water source. My gliders drink water out of a bottle, so I give my gliders juice as an occasional treat in a little coup-cup. I don't know if there is a reason for this, but this is the way I have always done it. Make sure it is 100% real juice. I use the gerbers juice with yogurt that is used in Bourbon's Modified Leadbeaters.

Have you tried crickets? They are lower in fat than mealworms.
