I've had my little man a week now. I left him alone for a few days and then started hand feeding him.

Tonight I put my hand inside the cage and he thoroughly enjoyed climbing all over it for a while (I kept my other hand blocking the door as I've learnt he can leap far and fast).

I'm not sure what the next step is in taming him. I had a female a year back but she was pretty chill right away not like this little man he's quite skittish still if startled.

Do I just carry on the inside the cage hand crawling. He wants to get on my hand and come out but I'm scared he'll just leap out my hand once I bring him out.

Any advice welcome. He's 11 weeks and I've had him at home for 10 days.
