My normal is 5 months old and she is totally like that. She would rather be out with us than be in her cage!! We are working on getting the 3 month old bee to be like that but it is taking a while. Though he would rather be out of his cage...I don't think he likes us petting him at all. He tolerates it but that is about it. The new baby butter....not a chance...she wants nothing to do with it at this point.
