I got Aria on November 17th. She's named Aria because on my way through Vegas I saw a billboard for the Aria Resort and Casino. I liked the name Aria and thought it would be a perfect name for her.
We are currently in the taming process of our relationship. She's an odd one for sure. I've tried giving her treats for her to take from my hand and either she takes it to eat or pouch or she'll just walk on over it and onto/over my hand. THE FUNNIEST thing is when she takes the treat from my hand and immediately tosses it. xD
Seems like the bathtub method is the best approach for this one. I think it's just a matter of getting over her fear of being hurt so she can stop flinching. I really think her cage mate did a number on her. Aria is always so scared that I'm going to hurt her. Not to worry, I've already seen improvement in her and I know that with time she'll realize she has nothing to fear.
Anyways, I love photographing Aria so I figured I'd make a thread on her where I can post pictures and write about her or things she does. Even though she's timid, I've still been able to get some cute shots of her. She's been a little blessing after Kit Kat and has helped me feel better. :')
Awww she's a real sweetheart & looks as though she really trusts you already in those vids

Last night Aria came out of her ball walked onto my hand. She nearly fell asleep in my palms and it was VERY rewarding. I'm starting to get the feeling that she's understanding that I mean her no harm at all.
Then tonight she woke up early and wanted to come out to play on her own. Usually I wake her up around midnight for a taming session. But not today! We hung out in the tub and I managed to get a good quick picture of her for the Christmas card contest. I also managed to nab some other pictures of her during some tub time.
Overall she still finches at some sounds but I can tell that she's learning to trust me for sure.
