so I just got a sugar glider about a week ago….and after about 2 days she seemed to have adjusted to us..(in the case of when we went to grab her or she wouldn’t bite) however, these past 2 days when I go to grab her she tries to bite me and jumps away?? My dog has been barking at which may be the reason she has become defensive??? but I don’t want her to become agressive…..she is just a baby now…how can I tame her or what should I do??

We are getting a male and a female. I want to know, in the likely case that they have offspring.
We got them from the Pet Store
I bought 2 sugar gliders about 2 weeks ago. They’re not mean, but they’re by no means tame, either. They were being kept by a guy who was going to have them breed, so he kept them separate from his pet gliders, and in much worse conditions. We realized their cage was very filthy after we left, and they’re older than the “young” we were told. The boy is 2, and the girl is 1 1/2. We were told they were “semi tame” but that’s totally not the case. I don’t believe these gliders have been handled at all.
Anyway, they’re pretty much unhandleable, and I can’t even grab them to put them in a pouch. I’ve bought them all new accessories and have been feeding them much better, but they keep peeing on their food and their habitats. I know they normally do this, but is it instantaneous all the time? They’re not mean, but they seem even terrified if I pet them.
I guess I’m looking for advice and tips on how to get these gliders to calm down!
Thanks
