give them a few weeks before you start handling them. let them get settled in.

give them a week or so to get used to their new home. Then handle then a little bit maybe 3 to 5 minutes a day for a while eventually they will learn you are not the enemy and will become tamer. I don't handle mine a whole heck of alot and they don't even struggle hardly when moved or picked up. I have had some that were darn near pest wanting to be picked up and such lol.

give him a week or 2 to settle in
with my baby gex, once they started to eat i would hand feed them cut in half mealies, after a few of that they got to trust me a little bit and are as calm as babies can be ^_^
you could also try for a few min at a time by just having youre hand in the cage and maybe hell get used to u

just a thought
