Smile Is she too old to tame?

Hello,
Recently I have adopted a robo of my niece. Unfortunately the ham wasn't treated in the best way and my niece lost interest very quickly as she is only a small child. I knew that robos weren't the best for children to start with. So I decided to adopt little ginger snap as I have two robos myself and love them.
I was wondering if I will still be able to tame her though and any tips on how I do this?They bought her In October so she is still quite young but never bothered to interact with her. I won't mind if she can't be tamed and I will enjoy her regardless but it would be nice
Any tips? Thankyouuuuu

If they only got her in October she's not that old really & if you're experienced with robos I don't see any reason why she couldn't become tame, it may take a little longer but she will probably respond well to some positive interaction.

My daughter re homed a robo said to be 9 months old at the time. The owner had the wrong sex so I doubt any taming had been done. Considerable progress was made over time. Eventually she could pick her up from her cage (a two handed complete cup ) to transfer to a playpen for lots of run around time including over Mum. The little one would come to see her when the fitch was rustled and she called her. Not bad for a robo when rehomed as an adult.
