It sounds like you've done your research. A ten gallon is fine, but feel free to put some more hides in there if you wish. I keep my hot ends about 86-87 and the cool end in the low 70s. I don't think any of my hogs ever strike at the prey but just go at, which if you think about their design they use their rear jaws, so striking would only be to secure food. I wouldn't advise handling it much at first, let it get acclimated to its new home, but after that as long as you handle gently you should be good. Good luck!
