Default Re: Help with Phi

What is her cage like? Sometimes if they aren't comfortable in their houses, then they are more skittish and harder to tame. Does she have enough hides and tunnels to escape to if she feels scared?
Have you tried keeping a tissue in your sleeve for a day, then ripping it up and leaving it in her hutch? This helped my shy hammie get used to my scent.
Have you tried sitting with her in a play pen, bath, or safe hallway? I heard of the hallway method in a thread a few weeks ago. This can help them get used to you.
Sometimes taking it really slow and not rushing it is the best thing to do. My hammie took a very long time to tame due to his skittish and scared nature, and I thought it would never happen!
