you were right..when spike got her new cage, she became really friendly. she will not stop talking! she knows my voice, and know the scent of my hand because im the only one who can touch her (through the cage that is) she is still a little bit woried about me putting my hand in her cage, but she will give you kisses through the cage. she loves attention. Jason picked her up one day just to see how she is, and she bit him a little and chipred, but he said it didnt hurt. so we wil keep trying it, but wont stress her out.
