handling/feeding question

[rex322]

ok rex hasnt eaten the last two times ive tried to feed him. im still trying to get him to trust me. should i keep handling him? how much? every day? every other day? i generally only keep him out for 15 min and hes always exploring. thanks for the help

Generally, exploring=looking for somewhere to hide. Until he's eating regularly, I would handle him less....maybe twice a week, tops. And try not to stress over it, he will eat, eventually.

Everything Mr. Plank said is absolutely correct, just handle less (until he starts eating regularly) and exploring can equal either hunting or stress just like Randy said so I would handle less and let him get situated and once he is feeding regularly then handle more. I got my BP in mid March and I've only handled him about five times total. If he eats on schedule the next two times I will handle more.
