A lot of people wait a week to try to feed after getting a new baby, just so they get used to their new enclosure. I was able to feed mine only 4 days after I got her though. How are your temps and humidity? Can you describe your set-up?
Why does a lot of people think moving them will be problems? Ive been moving mine for years now and havent been bit yet in that process. I have been bit while my hand was in their enclosure, but never during feeding. YES it is easier, maybe less stressful, but if thats the way you start out feeding them they seem to get use to the process. Just my thoughts.
