How am I ever going to get her to step up??

Hi Everyone. Knuckles is doing really great with us. She's slowly coming out of her shell. She took her first shower yesterday!! We will post photos asap.

We are developing a problem however. Knuckles LOVES LOVES LOVES to pick at my skin. PARTICULARLY the skin on my hands and fingers. So rather than step up for me, she will gladly sit wherever she is, and pick pick pick. We've been playing this little game all morning today. I've tried using my forearm, but same thing.. pick pick pick.

Does anyone have any suggestions? This is a little crazy...

Have you tried luring her onto your hand/arm with a treat?

I have, but she is not so food oriented. I think she much prefers to nibble on my fingers

That can be tough. My sennie isn't food motivated either. Thankfully she came already trained to step up. Hopefully someone else can step in with good suggestions.
