We have followed every rule that there is please can you help.

Answer
Brooke,

I am not a vet.  If it were me, I'd take the mother to the vet to be sure there isn't a medical issue.  Be sure she is getting enough protein, as a deficiency can cause seizures.  She could also have low blood sugar or dehydration.  There are so many issues that could cause seizures.  Since two of them had the problem the same day, it is probably something dietary, or perhaps something in the cage that is causing the problem.  

Here's my suggestion:  Immediately clean out the cage and remove anything that has been put in recently.  Get her to an exotics vet ASAP, and serve her only BML and water for a few days.  If you are giving her something else, she may be eating only that.  

Give her plenty of attention until you can get her a companion.  I don't have personal experience with introducing a companion to a new mother glider.  A female would probably be more accepting, but you'll have to be very careful with introductions.  

Good luck, please keep me in formed.
