 Really need.....

I have had my Sugar Gliders for exactly three months! I haven't been on here in a while to update so now i'm going to. I do not think my sugar gliders are getting bonded with me. I TRY to take them out to play but they don't want to. They play in their cage. They love that. I have a wheel in there. Straws. Some little baby toys. A ball with a bell in it. A ribbon. Two bird things. The little bars that they stand on. Some koozies. Cuz they love to play in them. Two pouches and another pouch i made for them. I feed them berries. Unsalted nuts. And some berry mix stuff that they really love to eat. Some hamster looking food. Dried banana chips. Carrots. Grapes. Lettuce. Apples. Etc. They make little noises sometimes. Like a chirp. And their both girls so they can't mate. They are sisters. And their three years old. I got them July 10th and their still not bonded with me. They were with their owner for three years. And i dont have a sugar glider safe room...But i use my bathroom and just close the toilet seat. There is nothing they can get into or hide in in there. Just things they can climb on. And i bring a little cage thing that they climb on. I feed them well...They seem happy. But its soooo hard to play with them. Because their nails are REALLY sharp and i have TONS of whit scars all over my body after every time they climb on me. I don't understand why. But i cant get anyone to clip them until they get calm enough and bonded with me. I love them to death. And they never just let me hold them. Does any of yours just let you strictly hold them??? They do not stay in one spot. And when i try to get them out of the cage they dont want to come out and they jump everywhere so i cant catch them. Then when i finally get them out thet jump right back onto their cage. I dont know what im doing wrong. But whats really cute is that they sit by a table i hve and i put my clothes on that table and every morning when i wake up a piece of my clothes are always in their cage. Its like they smell me and try to get my clothes in there with them?! lol. And they dont bite me as much or shall i say nibble. But they still do. I just need an easier way to get bonded with them so they will actually play with me and MAYBE stay still! So pleaseee any advise would be nice =)) Comment AsAp plzz

Sugar gliders very, very rarely like to be held. Most of the time, if they do, it's because they're scared and act "frozen". You should really post on the forum about bonding and diet. :)
