BT's are easy to get used to handling. They are usually right there with Easterns and Uni's in their temperment. Just make certain they know they are not getting fed when you open the cage! I would always tap them with a hook, rubber coated, to let them know this isn't feeding time..I honestly can't remember ever getting bitten by my BT's. I'm sure someone else has..
Keep up the daily handling a few minutes at a time and you'll do great and so will they..
