lol, yep, can but shouldn't would be a really good answer.

I don't handle hatchlings other than cleaning tubs until after they eat at least 4-5 meals.
You want them to remain feisty during that time and handling them tends to tame them down and can cause them to not want to start eating.
Doesn't mean it will happen but at this early stage you don't want to take chances IMO.
