I don't mess with mine much until they have some size on them and feel a bit less threatened. I've had one little girl over a year now and only hold her while cleaning. She's calmed down considerably but I credit more her size increase than my infrequent handlings. I'm sure you could calm one down quicker with regular handling sessions but you will also stress the little sucker out quite a bit in the process - keeper's choice.
