We have had our 2 girls now for about 1.5 to 2 months. We put them in their C&C cage last week and they are loving all the room. My question is how long before they start to let you touch them? At least 2 times if not 3 a day we take bits of leafy greens or green pepper and hand feed them. They do take from our hands inside the cage now. They do come to us and eat from us but they take it and back up, or sometimes run off. I talk soft to them as well as my kids. Will they ever trust us enough to scratch their ears or pet them? I know taming can take time, and it is time we are willing to spend. Just wondering if there is something else I should be doing/trying. For instance, I spent about an hour trying to find something they were willing to climb into (piggy elevator) so I could change their fleece. Then once done another hour or more trying to get them out of play area so could put them back in their C&C cage.
When they were in their smaller cage I would pet them in a corner when trying to get them out for floor time because I would have to pick them up out of the cage to get them to the floor. I am hoping they don't hate me now :weepy:
