After a week or two u can handle him for 15-30 minutes a day but don't bother him the day of feeding or two days after. All you have to do is just reach in and pick up. Make sure you support his body and if he crawls a lil bit just don't drop him. If he's moving really fast and seems like he's trying to get away u should put him back. If he's just hanging out that's good. Put him on the floor or blanket and let him check things out. Over time they will feel comfortable and will enjoy coming out for a little while.
