I'm a hook fan, too. My female Bredl hatchling is great, but the male was really flighty. We have deep cages and I found it best to hook him onto a plastic lid (doubles as a shield if he's striking a lot), then let him crawl onto us. He has learned quickly and is now nearly as good as the little girl. We also use antiseptic hand wash whenever handling, but not when feeding. Helps them know when they won't get a meal by striking.
