We have our first Crestie, female, approx 18 months.
The previos owners said she was tame (they also said it was a male but we're sure it's female)
She is very nervous around us. We haven't tried to handle her in the few days we had her, just wanting her to settle in.
Once lights go off, and she starts waking up, we put in her food. As soon as we approach the viv, and open the door, she bolts. Then it's another 3minute wait for her to come out again.
What can we do to make her less nervous? We are sitting in darkness, apart from the tv and a lamp as the ceiling light makes her hide away.
