My African Fat Tails tolerate handling rather well. They seem to enjoy coming out of their enclosures to hang out with the kids.

I have to agree with you. My daughter is now 9 and has been holding our aft's for 2 years now with no problems. They love to climb up her shirt and sit under her hair. Love her hot hands most of all and fall asleep in them.
Here is an old photo of Scooter. Hes gained quite a bit since i took this photo.
In this shot he is 59 grams
