Keep it on a regular routine so it is used to you feeding and watering it daily. Keeps its cage clean. Set limits to how long you handle it. Play with it in the evening since they are nocturnal. Wash your hands before you handle it so you are not passing as many germs. Keep its habitat somewhere controlled and quiet if possible. Do not handle it all the first few days it is in a new cage or after it is first brought home.
