hello again. i know its been 3 posts in 3 days, but you've all been very helpfull :)
i was just wondering about handling him, as i'm nearing the 7 day mark and he seems to be more comfortable now.
whats the best time of day to handle him? i havnt attempted it yet, and as far as im aware he hasnt been handled before so i want him to be as comfortable and relaxed as possible. i'm tempted to handle him during the day, but i know that hes nocturnal only problem is that (at the minute) i've only known him to be fully active from about 10pm onwards, however im sure he gets up to lots more when im not in the room.
would it be best attempting it at night?

they're crepuscular rather than nocturnal meaning they're more active at dusk and dawn so handling on an evening when he's active is a good idea
