Don't handle for 2 days after feeding, and I would give your bp some time to adjust, he's new. He's scared(new environment). I would wait untill he has had 3 consecutive feeding(3 weeks) before you start handling him. Try to keep handling to a minimum untill he has fed 3 time consecutively.
That advice is just what I was looking for myself for my recently purchased nine month old that I have only fed once so far.
