This is exactly what I was going to say. I too was devastated when mine acted like I was going to kill them everytime I held one. Now, I have lots of them that jump into my lap for hugs and to be held. Some are still aloof, but most enjoy my company. They'll come back.

mine go nuts for plain quaker oats once they get a taste they all attack me for them, and crickets from the pet store. Those are really fun to feed them!

I'll second (or is that third) the sunflower seed suggestion. I feed BOSS to my horses and the chickens come running at equine dinner time as they know it means I'll scatter a cup of the seeds on the ground for them. I've even had them waiting for me at the back door in the summer so they can be first in line for BOSS.

Dairy is fine in moderation. Plain unflavored yogurt is good for them, but it may take several tries before they realize it's a yummy treat and not some gunk to be stared at then run through

I'll bet they will go for mozzarella cheese, they'll probably think it's little worms.

I agree with those that say try the mealworms.

ill try mealworms and BOSS
