scared of my hand...

[aces92]

I had my IRN for about two weeks now and at first i had used gloves to take my IRN out of his/her cage,than a i stopped because i know my IRN is going to bite me anyway but every time i take my IRN out,it's scared of my hand,than when i put the gloves on, my IRN jumps right on my hand,and when put my IRN on my arm i take off my gloves and my IRN gets scared and climbs on my shoulder and wont come down until i out my gloves back on.what do i do? should i put a treat on my hand and wait for my IRN to eat it?My irn was never hand fed as up until to bought him/her and he/she is about 2 months old,i think i am doing pretty well since he/she stayes on my arm without a problem,but he/she is so scared of my hand.And to be honest i don't want my IRN on my shoulder until he/she is tamed

Lol that's little funny because I tried the glove thing and my girl went crazy! She hated the gloves! You could start off by putting your hand right in front of him/her so they can see it and then pull it away after a few seconds then put it in front of him/her again only a little closer, then pull away and repeat until he/she is comfortable with your hand. You could also try the treat thing, that seems to work pretty well, if he/she understands that you are giving it food. Good luck
