First things first..let him in his cage for a little while, teach him
to trust you. hang his pouch on the door, and when you open the
door, do nothing but offer him licky treats on your finger. Do this as
many times as you can during the day, and evening. Only let him take
a couple of licks, them pull your hand out to put fresh on it. Only do
this a couple of times each time you put your hand in. Also if he
crabs, FREEZE, don't move, wait till he stops crabbing, before you
remove your hand. DON'T try to take him out, or HOLD him.
ALWAYS have a licky treat on your fingers when you enter that cage.
This is one of those things I spoke of before, of having to unteach the
bad first. All he knows right now, is that your hands chase him all over
the room. NOW is the time to teach him your hands are good things..
This will take some time, but it is necessary, this is what should have
been done when you first got him. you MUST teach him to trust your
hands. IF he runs from your hands, he doesn't trust them yet. If this
isn't quick enough for you, you may never build a trust. TIME and
patience, remember to think of them as if they were a neglected,
abused little child , who is scared to death of people.. cause they
are..you don't make trust, you earn it..don't even think of bonding, till
you have a strong trust, trust you earn, a bond grows with love, you
can't have love till you have trust..
