how long should i wait to handle my bp after i feed her? i usually wait 2 days or so, but this is the biggest meal she has ever had. i had to buy a pet fancy mouse from petsmart cause my feeder mouse supplier was out! i dont know if thats bad but.. yeah whatever haha.

I don't handle my balls that often.....or at least not like I used to ) ...but I will handle them after eating if I absolutely have to because they need to change cages or something urgent. I'm just very careful not to bend them much and I'll put them down as soon as possible. If it is just to play with her, then I think 2 days is still fine for allowing time to digest a bit. If you can still see a lump after that long, then you might want to wait a while longer.
