I'd suggest you just leave her in her cage, not try to handle her or bug her too much. She needs to adjust to her new surroundings for a couple of days. Have you got a nice comfey bed she can sleep and hide in? She needs to feel safe. There's bound to be the adjustment period where she'll be very nervous, she'll be fine.

: I just got my second glider today, a week after my first died in my hands, and she is great. I gave her some pieces of an apple and a pear, but she still seems very scared. I know that I have to be patient with her but is there any way to make her feel more comfortable?
