New mom here. We have had our 6 week old for a little over a week are trying to get her use to be handled. She gets really stressed out about it. Its upsetting to see how distressed it is making her. We try to make it a really calm experience with a really quiet room and not around feeding time. Is there any suggestion to what we can do? Is it just a case of keep going until she is use to us?

Many juveniles are very jumpy and don't like to be held. I think it makes sense to occasionally hold her inside the cage so she doesn't jump out and get more stressed. You can even see if you can get her to take a feeder from your hand. Many of them calm down as they get older but there are some who just never like being held. I have a 5 year old male that I got as a young adult and he just hates to be held.
