I got my little guy on Monday evening. He was due to eat the next day, but the breeder said to wait a week and then feed him to get him used to the new home.

He has been trying to escape for the past couple of nights, just climbing on the Viv and rubbing his nose all over the place on it. He is falling all over the place and stuff, it is pretty funny to watch but I don't want him to hurt himself.

anyhow my questions.

1- How much can I handle him and for how long each time?(while he is getting used to his new environment)
Dont handle him while hes adapting please
2- Should I try and feed him or wait a week? it will have been 2 weeks since he has eaten by the time next Tuesday comes.
Its best to wait a week to let him settle into his new enclosure
3- If he is trying to escape should I pick him up or just let him be?

Let him be until a week, then feed him then wait 24-48 hours after feeding to prevent a regurg.
Thanks in advance!

Ryan
