I have had her for almost a year know. I have tried to hold her but she keeps biting me, i try to feed her new foods but she wont try them. I try to play with her but i dont know what to do?! HELP ME PLEASE!!!!!!!

Answer
First of all, make sure to keep her in a nice quiet place.  It is possible that maybe she is stressed.  A few things that you can do is to put your hand in the cage and let her smell it.  Don't touch her right away.  Just put your hands in there and let her see you place food in and etc.  This way she can learn to associate your hand with good things.  Slowly start petting her.  It is going to take a lot of time a patiences.
