Do they like to be handled

[distaff]

I do think my Kings like it. I'll have them out daily for 10 or 15 min at a time outside of the 48 hour digestion period.
There is some "running" at first, then, they just settle down and hang out in my hand. I'm usually reading stuff on-line or watching a video at the same time.

Then again, maybe they just enjoy the heat from the desk light.
