I was just wondering really. I've had my Royal for about 3 months now and I handle her 3 times a week, for about 5-10 minutes as I know they can be easily stressed. I'd love to handle her more though as she's a pleasure to handle and is slowly but surely becoming my favourite......sshhhh don't tell the others though

That's in stark contrast to my Kings and Corns who get handled at least once a day (except after feeding of course) for up to 20 minutes.

Mine don't get handled much at all, once a week at the most.

LOL! I couldn't have put it better myself! Yeah, sometimes my corns are forever wanting to be out - sometimes they don't want to know. I leave it up to them.

I've had my little royal since the end of Jul, he's getting very full of himself, very laid back, brilliant eater, but of course I've had to observe the settling in period, and now he's in shed, but he really is a sweetheart, like the OP I wish I could have him out all the time! Longing for him to tap on the glass!

Zazu probably once a day mainly by my wife and Rafiki once every couple of days for about 15-20 mins. Zazu would spend her life out of her rub on Mikkis lap if given the chance, unless she's just been fed she's always looking to get out and then just sits content in your hand.
