when is it ok to try and handle

Been almost a week, still skitish. I figure they won't over come this if I don't interact with them. Any advice.

Keep messing around in the enclosure with your hand in it let them get comfortable with you. A week is not alot of time.

Spend time in the cage spot cleaning, changing water, and just moving things around. There is no set time of when you can handle them or when they will start to calm down. Just keep working with him.

Put your hand in every once in awhile and show him your hand. Very slowly, a slightly fast movement can startle him.

It is also nice to just sit right infront of the cage when he is out. Things like reading or watching tv so he gets used to your presence.

I'll watch mind numbing amount of abundance next to them. I just hate when I stress them when I'm moving things and what not. That hyperventilating makes me feel bad. If o was that scared...

I have been handling since day 1, he already crawls up my hand when I lay it in his cage ;o) Actually comes to me for attention! I'll post a video tomorrow! Cutest thing ever, they are SO trusting!
