handling/feeding

LordBaal Sep 23, 2008 10:39 PM

I fed my 2 monther today for the first time in my care. I believe 7th feeding.
I had a Cali King many years ago, and for 2 days after each feeding I did not handle him.
Are balls the same?
I asked about handling before, and the answer was hold it as much as you want, as long as its accepts food. Does this include after feeding?
I do handle him to move him from a smaller box to his cage.
But placed him gently in the cage.
Thanks
