you want him to associate handling with positive things.. 5 - 10 min is a good mark to aim for
Not with my hands lol, they are always cold :) but yes little and often is a good plan :) |

As said, another reason I handle little and often is they can get quite warm very quickly. |

Just start with 5 mins a day and gradually extend the time you have him out. |
