Hi Mandy,
Read in body of your message (using all caps just to distinguish different message, I'm not yelling, lol)

: **wipes eyes*** that is so cute!:)

: I am hoping that Pele CURIOUS, HOW IS THAT PRONOUNCED? PEELEE? grows a bit less shy in time SHE WILL ~Q>, at the moment she is shy one moment and fearless another GOOD SIGN!:)

: Pele is 1 year old (I am told) and has never been pouch trained DO YOU HAVE A POUCH FOR HER?...or really people trained YOU'RE DOING A GREAT JOB SO FAR, KEEP IT UP!. How would you go about doing this ? Her nips do hurt YIKES, THEY REALLY CAN...and I dont think a glove is an option, she needs my scent very badly...any ideas PUT A PAIR OF SOCKS THAT YOU WORE FOR A DAY INTO HER CAGE, OR A SHIRT, ANYTHING. SURROUND HER WITH YOUR SCENT, SHE HAS A STRONG SNIFFER, YOU MAY NOT KNOW WHAT YOUR SCENT IS, BUT SHE DOES! HOW LONG HAVE YOU HAD HER? WHAT KIND OF NEST/BEDDING IS SHE USING? HAVE YOU TRIED SUGAR OR HONEY ON YOUR FINGER? I would leap to try your idea, but Gizmo was so young when you got him YES HE WAS, AND HE WAS SOOOOO CUTE! THE SIZE OF A GOLF BALL!, I am afraid Pele will need more time? YOU ARE RIGHT, SHE WILL NEED MORE TIME, BUT TIME IS WHAT IT IS GOING TO TAKE, TIME AND CONSISTANCY. I DON'T RECALL, DO YOU HAVE ANY OTHER GLIDERS?
: Thanks for all of your help!!:) YOU'RE WELCOME, I'M SURE YOU TWO WILL BOND VERY SOON, JUST DON'T GIVE UP!
