I am afraid that is quite common! the activity and you stroking them seems to stimulate them into giving you a 'gift'! You just have to learn to look out for the signs - going still, tail lifting, vent opening - and then either have kitchen roll at hand and aim to catch or back in viv as quick as poss or into the garden if you have time. I use the kitchen roll and have got quite good at catching. You do begin to get a bit paranoid and spend most of your time watching their tails! xxx

kellog is right, handling with warm hands stimulates the "urge to go!"

Sid is always doing it. I have got his move down so well I can get him to use the toilet.
Got the aim wrong once and it went all down my leg.

I think Eddie's done it once. I think it happens because of the times that I handle him. I don't handle him right after a feed so I think that automatically means an increased chance of mess! Nevermind, I think it must be all the exercise he gets from wriggling around our arms and furniture.
