You really haven't felt my hands lol, they are icy sometimes :) |

keep it short and don't over stress teh little critter..
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 :) |
