Had to try REALLY hard not to make an inappropriate joke there

Back on subject...
The age is more than likely why he is tetchy, they are skittish when they are young and to be honest, stroking him probably makes this worse, just let him crawl over your hand and through your fingers, let him do his own exploring.
