As Jeff said,handling is the key to taming your ig.So start all over and slowly and gently start with sitting next to her cage and talking to her.Put an old t-shirt of your's that is clean,but rub it on you,then place it in her hide box.It takes time and patience to tame a wild creature,and they are wild not domesticated.When you take her out,wrap her in a towel or her t-shirt.When you handle her,wear a t-shirt that you wore holding her the day before.Wear that shirt for two or three days of handling her so she can smell her scent on it.Don't wear colognes or deordants when around her.They are very scent oriented animals.Hope this helps some.Good luck and keep us posted.
