They have no fear of me! It's very cool to sit by the habitat when they are asleep in the morning and see one of them come out to greet me when I put my arm inside.
The next thing I want to accomplish with them is to transition from them crawling on my arms on their own terms to accepting my touching them on my terms too. That should reduce the scratches I've been incurring as they grip my arm with their sharp little nails to crawl up and down (and even upside-down).
I want them to allow me to reach in and pick them up (slowly of course). From there I want them to be able to trust me so eventually we can walk away from the habitat with them not going into panic mode and trying to get away from me. I want them to seek me as a source of safety when they are afraid.
I suppose once they trust me and look to me as a safe place, we can start working on going into a closed and safe room so they can try some gliding. One step at a time.
First trust and safety. :)
