I would suggest taking your time and let Jade set the pace. With O'malley, he was ready to come out and play right off the bat. The one think that you will want to do is to avoid showering Jade with attention now if you know that in a short time Jade will need to be able to entertain herself. If you give her lots of attention now, then need to have her in her cage for a good part of the day later Jade may get confused and start to scream for attention.

first of all - congratulations the wait finally came to an end.
give him/her some time to settle in, then i'd start with step up training and basic handling. if you talk to cyrstal, you'll be getting good advice. also, if you have a chance you can browse book stores - some of them have books on training and handling that are helpful.
good luck!
