My Tinker Bell has been with me for 2 weeks and sleeps in my palm but takes off as soon as she wakes up. She does not come to me when I put my hand in her cage. When hubby goes near, she runs towards me which gives me pleasure in knowing her trust in me is slowly building. When I did more pouch bonding, she tried to bite me. Finally took her in my hands and did cupping between my palms and she stopped crabbing and biting. Guess touch is definitely better than smell as I touched her a lot from outside the pouch and it didn't work.
When hubby brought his girl home, I told him to not leave her for a day or two and the next morning he did take her in his hands and she warmed up quite well.
