Finally, maje sure your hands do not smell of food, and get her used to your scent by rubbing toilet paper in your hands and leaving it her cage. Good luck
Thank you I have put my hand in her cage to change food, put new things in etc and she seems to just watch me and then get on with whatever she was doing before, its just when i put a treat on my hand and let her come to me that she bites. I will move her into her new cage using that method though, thanks!
