"well the new pb is doing great."
the new peanut butter?

you shouldnt worry about handling... I handle mine about 1-2 hours a day. the main problem that's related to handling bps (at least for me), is that sometimes I forget that she's there laying on my lap and she slither's off without me knowing.

good luck with her!

Just starting out with a new BP, I would handle 15 minutes twice a day every other day for a couple of weeks. It really depends on how well it takes to being handled.
