At the very least give them a couple weeks to get acclimated to their new cage. When they are feeding regularly and don't try to run up the walls when you walk into the room you can probably start working with them. This may take months and not weeks but you will have to be the proper judge. Make sure you are gradual in your increased interactions... I would recommend starting off by feeding with tongs, and maybe move to trying to pet them in their cage (with a gloved hand!). Just remembe be patient, and never force the issue or you will have a stressed resentful animal.
Good luck...
