Problems with Squirrel training

Filed in - new - problem - squirrel

Hello ,my name is Daniel.I have a little squirrel,kibi, and  we have a lot of confidence : she walk in  my bedroom,we play together (when she wanna ),she let me catch her (doesnt like many,but dont care),walk on my body,i feed her with my hand...

I read the book "a dog & a dolphin:an introduction to clicker training" and i was very amazed with it.I read again and began to searching in internet,seing videos of people training pets,and reading this great website.Finally i decided to try it with my squirrel.

i bought a clicker a week ago and we have tried it several times,several days.(4 days actually)

I tried a lot the first times,but it doesnt worked.She doest care the click sound,she only wanna the feed (i used a little pieze of biscuit).

I thought it could be because she was accustomed to have a lot of food (and also she had hidden a lot of in my bedroom),and i decided to change some bad habits.I begin to give her less food, ...

And yesterday we began again. she was sleeping and i fondle her as many times.She awaked and i decided to tried it because she was very receptive.

I put some piezes on the floor and when she found it i press the click.It seem she enjoyed with it,and somethimes move her tail,really she was very interesting in the game,lol.and finally i send her to sleep again.

 today i tried again.she was very interesting again,and finally i tried only click and wait a second to feed her,i did but she doesnt care.she only wanna feed and doesnt care the click sound.

i am a little hopeless because it seem they are not any advance.

some advices?

thanks and excuse me my bad english
