Since she doesn't crab much anymore, that's a big step.
You don't mention that she bites, does she?
If not, that's a big step too.
When you want to handle her, reach in and pet her with the back of your fingers at first, that's less intimidating. Give her a chance to get her peeing and pooping over with (for the most part) before you pick her up. Offer her a treat (such as pinenuts)before you pick her up too.
I've found that handling such a nervous one in a pouch is much easier than just in your hands. They feel much more secure if they're in a pouch.
Keep your patience, she'll get a little tamer every time you handle her this way.
Thresa : My glider Sadie still has not bonded with me yet! I have had her for 4 months. She jumps when she sees my hand and runs. I can't touch her with out her peeing and pooping. She does'nt crab much anymore though. I don't know what to do anymore. Help!
