I would also like to see your technique, My boy is a sweetie, but the girl i just got is a bit snippy, i am just starting to handle her, she came from a large breeder and was only handled during cleaning, she is 223g. I used a glove the first time but she balled up and remained that way till i put her back 10 mins. later. Any suggestions to help her relax, would putting her on a blanket on my bed help.
