Ok i put them on a scale and the boy is 12 grams and the girl is 10 should i be worried? i thought they should be at least 12 grams coming out of pouch. I do have everything i need to sup feed if need be but there are no signs of mommy rejecting the babies in fact she is doign very well i just worry they are not getting enough milk. I have my gliders on the exotic glider diet but i just ran out and am making more and buying more vitts from pracillas but in the mean time they still get a good diet of fruit and vegs and calcium and mealworms.

It is not unusual for one joey to weigh a gram or two more than the other one. Keep weighing them daily to make sure that neither one starts losing weight. They should both gain a couple of grams within 3-4 days. If weight loss, or no gain, occurs, then you may consider supplementing, but I wouldn't start it yet until you have further indication that it's truly needed.
