Handling more often is the right thing to do to get it used to you, and the gloves will certainly keep you from loosin' anymore blood . Prekilled, whether fresh killed or frozen/thawed is always the best bet, unless it won't take anything BUT live. As far as substrates go, I think most use aspen or cypress mulch. Indoor/outdoor carpet, cut ta fit, can also be used. Hope this helps.
