Well I dont know if this will work for you! But first of all you could carry them in a bonding pouch. Also use licky treats! Let them lick of your finger it helps build trust! You could watch and once they are asleep in there pouch gently slip your hand in there and just cuddle them in your hand and let them sleep for awhile! Also when they are in the cage what you could do is drape something that has your smell over the cage! This way they are getting used to your smell and slowly building a bond with you! Thats my advice raspberry smile
