Jayson,
Spend time close to the cage one on one with her. Give her treats often so she gets used to you being great to her. hang a tee shirt that you wear everyday in the cage..replace it every night while she is out playing. that way she will get used to your scent, it will also give her something to play on..again something nice of you.. this will take a lot of time and patience and I am glad you are giving her the time she needs to learn to trust you..crickets, mealworms, moths.. also what are you feeding her? her diet may have something to do with her dispostion.. just some added thought.. Good luck and keep us posted.. p.s. I usually suggest the tee shirt thing to teach them to pocket train, but for you All you want to do is keep a fresh scented one in the cage each night. Also if possible don't bother her at all during the day when others are around make it a one on one experience.. Do you use a nestbox or a pouch? if you use a pouch and hang it on the door, when you open the door each daty to give her a treat she will associate you with good things.. It will take her time.. again thank you for giving her that time.
