That's very common, all I can say is persist with her and have a towel on your lap!!

Hold her for a few minutes each day, except for 2 days after feeding. Hopefully soon she will realise that you are not a threat.

She will more than likely get there, patience is the key. At only a year old she still has a fair amount of growing to do and some stay quite flighty and "musky" well past 18 months. Wink

Any pics? Is she banded or striped?
