    How often can I handle BP?
    I tried searching, but did not see anything.

    I have a Black-Back and we only held him twice, once while getting his environment set up, and then again 48 hour after he ate for the first time. He has ate twice, seems content and happy.

    How often can I handle him and for how long?

    Thanks! :)

    My suggestion is to start out slowly. Handle for short periods of time, maybe 5 minutes a day then work your way up.

    It al depends on the animal, and it's age. The general rule of thumb is no handling for the first week, to allow them to settle in, then after feeding allow 24-48 hrs for digestion.

    But since yours has taken 2 meals already beginto handle minimally 10 -15 minutes or so.
