I try to handle my Blood as much as possible.Out side of keeping him used to me I heard it helps for other reasons.One is that it seems more (food) goes into him than what comes out.I'm guessing some or most of his weight is idle food.So I try to soak him and handle him as much as possible.I cannot control the heat in my basement apartment.I have a thermometer( Outside cage)& temp gun.When I handled him today the temperatue was about 72.Is this OK ? what would be the border temperature ? I believe he is a black and red hybrid based on earlier posts (blood type) Thank You HS
