ive handled my bp almost every day ive had him which has only been a couple months. he, or maybe she idk, likes to be out of the cage and handled as much as possible. he'll sit still for about 5 min and then start trying to get away or depending on his mood he'll wrap around my neck which is my favorite thing for him to do. but he's usually out and about for an hour or so everyday and ive started trying to get him less jumpy bout having his head touched.
