aww Thank you very much .. i am so hooked on him just wish he was not so shy .. but i try everyday talking to him and putting my hand in his cage witch he enjoys nipping at .. he is a quick guy so sometimes i can catch him but i guess patience and care will win him over soon enough : )

because they are naturally prey animals they will always run from a hand in the cage. try catching him and holding him on your lap, listen and pay attention to his ques that he has to go back limit it to 20 minutes if you dont get a que from him. try to be consistent. read more in the floor time section under lap time. hope this helps
