Safe to handle after feeding?

I know normally people wait 24-48 hours after a feed to handle, but if my ball is crawling all over his aquarium, and up and down the branches inside, is it safe to gently handle him? Its been about 6 hours since he ate.

Sounds like he's still hungry. How big/old is he and what are you feeding him?

Mine usually curl up and hide after eating...

He is a few months old and 139grams before today's feeding. I have had him for 2 and a half months and he has went from 80g to 139g. I bought a 50 pack of mice weanlings when I got him ranging from about 15 to 18 grams. I have been feeding him one about every 4 days since they are a little small for him. He will curl up in his hide for a few hours after eating but then he is normally back on the move.

1) Definitely do not handle. While he may be out cruising that is not the same as being handled, and handling could very easily cause him to regurge.

2) I would feed him two mice at a time if they don't leave a lump and he still acts hungry afterward.

ya if he still looks like hes hungry just give him another mouse. hell go back in his hide and take a nap.
