Handling Question

deliriumpixie Jun 06, 2007 06:24 PM

I read somewhere that Leos generally don't like to be handled and should only be held a couple of times a week. Is this true? My Leo seems to like the attention, as long as he is warm.

I would say it all depends on the age of your Leo.

If your Leo is only a hatchling hes not going to like the idea of behing handled and anyways they are very fidgety.

Now if your Leo, is already mature and is used to seeing you around and has been handled already it will become more "tame", for lack of a better word, and will be much more easy to handle.

Hope it helped!

my leo gets held about 1 time every other day. the older she is getting the more she tolerates it, and the longer i hold her for.
