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.
The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.

Re: Handling during fasts
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.

Re: Handling during fasts
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.
