I just got an 8 week out of pocket female joey to be buddies with my 10 week out of pocket. I have her in her own cage right now while she gets used to everything/everybody in our home. I had great success with my 10 week old, but I'm at a loss with her. She crabs constantly when she knows I'm approaching her cage and lunges at me through the cage with teeth bared when I get near. She came in a pouch that doesn't hang or zip, so I had to set it on the floor of the cage, hoping she might adjust to the freshly washed hanging pouch and relocate there. She comes out of her pouch to eat (she eats like a champ) and run on her wheel, but at this point I can't even get her into a bonding pouch to at least carry her around with me. I have clothing with my scent on/in her cage. When I purchased her she escaped the inadequate pouch despite my best efforts and was free in my parked car for about 30 minutes and it was a nightmare trying to catch her. Because of that I know that she is as fast as lightning, so I'm terrified that she will elude me when trying to get her out somehow and never be seen again. I realize everyone is different, but she has me stumped. I'm pretty sure all the circumstances are as they should be due to my recent success with my other joey. I'm just laying low and basically leaving her alone for now, but I'd love any suggestions.
