It will take time, effort and plenty of patience. Start by placing your hand in the cage several times daily, leaving it there for ever increasing periods each time. You can try to offer Meep small treats, such as a bit of fruit. Eventually, she should come near your hand and land on your finger.
Once she lands and perches on your hand regularly, you can try taking her out of the cage in a small, safe room for short periods of time.
