Well, I tried it yesterday. Pulled up her hide to give her a tickle. She was pissed! It's the first time she's hissed at me and it startled me. She doesn't ball up, she spreads out and looks like she's going to strike.

I mean honestly, I'm not scared she's going to hurt me. I'm more afraid that I'm going to make some stupid movement and hurt her or scare the snot out of her. She's not being handled as much as I think she should be right now and she's not too small either.

I just bought me a nice pair of gloves. I know, it's so sissy but she totally blew my confidence with her attitude. It's the getting her out part that wigs me out a bit. Once she's out she's fine and I know the more I do it the more she'll get used to it. Hope to ditch the gloves very shortly.
