How often do you like to handle your bp's?

[JulieInNJ]

Something to keep in mind. BP's do not like to be handled. They have no emotional dependency of interacting with their caregiver and at best only tolerate us handling them. At the end of the day they just want to be left alone.

The only time I handle my BP's is when I clean their tubs, and even then I try to keep it as brief as possible in order to keep them as stress free as possible.

Awesome pets, but not ones that want to be interacted with very often.

That's good to know! I think part of the problem is that I'm absolutely fascinated by her and my 8 year old son loves watching her too. We'd probably be better off having multiple bp's so we can get our fix and not disturb them too much!
