    Handling during fasts
    I typically handle my BPs for a few minutes once a week. However, when a BP is fasting, should you stop handling altogether until they start eating again?

    My adult will usually fast for 6-7 months. I've never come across any negative effects or behaviors from handling during this time.

    Same here. My male pastel fasts from October-November to march-may and I handle during that time with no issues

    I handle my fasting adult. If it's a fasting young BP though, say under 400g, I wouldn't call it fasting and I would limit handling. Just trying to optimize my chances of getting the young bp eating again.

    Thanks. Glad everyone is of the same opinion. My 1500g female has been fasting since Nov, but I haven't really changed how much I handle her.
