I hold mine four days per week. I do not hold them on feeding day or the following days. My two like to be held. They sit still as statues ( I think they fall asleep) on my hand, shoulder or wherever I put them. I think I must be the perfect temperature for them. Last night they each had about an hour sitting on my shoulder while I was online. They do not like to be out during the day though, I think the light must hurt their eyes or something. But at night, they love being out.
