I'm not sure there is a right answer as such but when I got Monty the consensus seemed to be leave him for a week to settle in then try and feed him and if that went ok then start short handling sessions a few days after that.

As long as he is eating I'm sure you're doing fine, the main thing is not to handle withing 48 hours of feeding.
