I was trying to handle Kronos today to get him out of his cage to feed him but he is still very flighty when ever I put my hand near him, he would tail whip and sprint away. Should I just try and grab him? Or give him some more time to adjust? I got him Tuesday. and handle him for a couple minutes then put him in his cage and left him be for the rest of the day, he would run and hide when I came in the room but come back out then go back in after I moved around a lot. Wednesday I tried interacting with him but he stayed under his hide so I adjusted a couple things in the cage an he just kinda watched me from under his hide.Today I tried to put my hand near him to pick him up an then he would tail whip and bolt, I picked up his hide, which was probably a bad idea an he bolted away again. At that point I put a shirt in the cage and his food on top of it so he wouldn't eat the substrate. I watched him eat with the cage open and he didn't mind coming out to eat in front of me. I left my shirt in the cage so he could get used to my scent. Should I just give him more time to adjust? I would really like to feed him in a feed bin instead of his cage. Thanks.
