First off - Why are you feeding a 650 gram ball fuzzies? That size ball should be eating at least wean or small rats? Try feeding her appropriate sized meals. Try holding her for a few minutes a day - just take her out of her tub and sit still with her in your hand or lap - and be still - then put her back in her nice warm hide and leave her be. If she is really aggressive try doing your handling a couple of days after she has had her feeding. If it helps you can put a towel or t-shirt over her to limit her stress while she is with you. Although there are some that are just "born pissy" most balls will come around with proper husbandry and handling.

Good luck!
