For gliders it is a good thing. Rewards after nail clipping help to make them forgive you faster.
Rewards for coming up to you in the cage help them to associate you with good things.

Yea they've nipped my a few times with the treats just trying to get them in their mouths but nothing painful. The only place I've gotten an actual nip was during fist time at first. I usually do tent time, and at a certain point they get tired and go back into their zipper bonding pouch. Then we sit on the couch and I put my fist in and wait for them to cuddle up. They used to nip a bit defensively but now they know it gets them nowhere. Interestingly, the only place they kind of nip now is my knuckles, which seems, after reading about the types of bites, is more of a grooming thing as my knuckles are a bit rough and wrinkly. It isn't an attack or anything and they like to crawl on my hand it's just on the knuckles. We sit like this for a while and then I get their dinner ready and unceremoniously send them in back into their cage to eat. I'm glad this is good for them though, as long as I stick to not a ton of treats!
