You're right. Mine come right to the cage door whenever I walk into the room. They don't mind being touched, however they don't really like being held. When out of their cage they are nearly impossible to catch, they run and jump around so quickly, I always have to bribe them back into their cage. I don't really consider them aloof, but they aren't as personable as other animals.
