i just got my female joey, Moochi, yesterday night. she seems scared and keeps on crabbing whenever i move my finger near to pat her. after a few pats i managed to scoop her up, with a lil more crabbing, but after awhile she was climbing all over me. and she has the tendency to jump around alot.
the next morning, i was back to square one

". is this normal? is there any way i could get her to be more comfortable with me? (i have placed my tshirt on the cage) also, she doesn't seem to drink water so far,i used a drinking bottle for hamsters. should i use a water bowl instead? i placed a dish with bread, gerber baby food and blueberry jam, and i found out she has preference for blueberry jam

she's nearly 2months old. is she big enough to eat mealworms? thanks to those who can help me out here

Ah.... you should buy my glider food lah hahaha... kidding lah.
Blueberry jam, a bit is ok... did you buy those that got no added sugar? Anyway, nice meeting you yesterday
It will take some time for Moochi to learn to trust you. It is better for you to buy a pouch and hang her around your neck under your shirt coz got your bodyheat and smell.... you do that, sure she will get used to you and bond...
Intro some fresh fruits such as apples, honey dew, carrot, jambu air, sun mellon, grapes and pears.... gliders love these.
2 months old still dunno how to eat mealworms, you take a mealworm, cut the head and squeeze out the juice of the mealworm for Moochi to eat lah. She will lick it and this is part of hand bonding training.
You can feed her yogurt using your fingers too.
