Hi all. So its been a month since I've brought Sora home. I try to pick him up everyday as much as possible, missing a day or two due to school work and such. I'm now used to all the poking and just ignore when he balls up with my fingers trapped (when he does this I usually just pick him up with a hand below him once he unrolls).

I was just wondering how long will it take for him to get used to movements and noises? I expose him to usual movements like walking around and hands moving around so that he knows to not freak out every time. I'll also have some music or video playing. But this past month there hasn't been any improvements in that. Even if I have picked him up from his cage and have him walking around my hands, lap, or cuddled up in a fleece blanket, once there's any sort of movement that he senses he hissed and balls up (even the slightest one). I have no issues if this just ends up being his personality, but I wanted to try and let him know to be comfortable so I can let him out and have fun exploring without stressing at every movement he senses. So if time is a factor, then I'll take my time with him and hopefully he opens up more. :)

Thanks in advance for hearing me out and letting me know your opinions
