So, my pretty little Pippa has no problem climbing all over me once she's out of the cage.

BUT... she's still very nervous about my hands (in an out of her cage) and being held....especially when she's in her cage. She still sometimes runs and hides when I just talk to her. I have to use a snuggle sack to get her out of her cage. So I need some advice please...

Do I leave her along in her Billy cage (360 sq in with a top opening) and trust in patience and the taming process...

OR do I swap her to a bin cage that has a front door opening (like a 64L Really Useful box 483 sq in)?
