Hey everyone (:
As some may know from previous thread since I got her, Gimli has been very shy and skittish since we got her almost 2 months ago.
She'd run away when we put our hand in the cage and I never actually touched her or held her at all. Well we've been trying really hard lately and we managed to get her to take treats from our fingers if we held them out to her, tho hands where off limits and she ran when she saw us.
My boyfriend did this a day ago and today I tried it too; laying my hand out with some meal worms on my palm and it took her ages to leave her nest but eventually she stepped out, grabbed a worm and ate it next to my hand, then she went to sit on my hand and happily finished off her meal worms on my palm then was happy to carry on sitting, then walk up and down my arm, then moved from hand to hand and seemed so calm when she was doing it! I could lift my hand away from the cage too without her jumping off!
I'm so happy I'm making progress with her, it sounds small but to me it means so much and I'm so glad she's starting to not be scared of me (:
Just thought I'd share this with you guys along with a picture of her on my hand!

Progress with taming Gimli!
