Default training APHs

I finally got a snoflake APH 12 week old and raised by the mother but handled from a young age.
She is handleable but does get in tantrums when first disturbed. is there any way of getting past this?

Both mine do it, but are fine once i have hold of them and they are awake properly.

Try offering a mealworm each time you go to pick her up, so that she associates you with a treat. Mine will do anything for a mealworm.
