To start with, my husband and I went to the store tonight to see our little boy eat, and boy did he!!! He snatched the mouse out of the tongs, squeezed it, and the next time I looked, it was gone!!
Now my question, what is the best way to pick up a BP? The people at the pet store pick them up by the middle of their bodies, and being BPs they tend to stay in a ball or curved shape as they are lifted. Is that the way to do it? Should we wash out hands before we handle him? Do they like to be held close to the body, or just on the hand or arm?
Is there anything else I need to know about handling our new baby?
Thanks,
Mina
