i agree with the above. He will become more relaxed in time, just keep doing what your doing with him.

When i got my first one, he would make these fast jerky movements which used to make me nervous, i even threw him once (big embaressment and shame but n o harm done). After a few months he calmed down, and now he is super chilled. When i open his tub he comes out if his roaming and his so relaxed when i hold him. I do still only take him out 2 or 3 times a week and only for 10 or 15 mins at a time.

I do know how you feel, i have just got a new one from aug 2010 clutch, she has not been handled much by the breeder and she is realy scared when i hold her. So i am going through the same process again.

I think its a process we should enjoy!

Good luck and have fun with him or her
