I have to agree. the more you handle him/her the better it will be. dont be suprised if it never comes around though. i have a 3 year old pastel male. He is an angry guy. i handle him every day, but he still strikes. its the name of the game. you get some good tempered ones and then some not so good tempered ones lol. im sure it will come around though. just give it some time and be patient.
