| thats great that your pleased with him but i would just leave him be for a week with no handling,it just gives him time to adjust. |

| Handle her by all means but keep it short for the first few times to allow her to settle in, enjoy :) |

| I'm with Lee, I wouldn't handle until after at least one feed and the 48hr after the feed to allow digestion. |

| I agree with Lee and BE, it really is best if she has a week to settle in and a feed first. I remember how long that week seemed when I first got my two. |

| I also agree. Theres another thread on here anout a royal that latched on to its owner and wouldnt come off for a long time. If you handle bella to soon it will be shy and that and might do the same thing. But also as robert said for the 1st 2 or 3 times only handle a short time so nella gets used to you. good luck:) |
