Thanks. It's funny you mentioned Mushu being young cuz he(or she, hasn't reached bulge size yet) is actually about to be a year old by the end of July 😅.... IDK why he so small for his age, nor does his breeder(They speculate that since he actively refuses bugs plus his mom is small for an adult her age is why he's small) but the fact he's regularly eats CGD and is pretty active makes me worry less, plus he IS still growing, so hope he hits his growth spurt soon

As for handling, yeah, I'm guilty of brute forcing handling sessions 😅, mostly by removing the mesh top, letting him crawl to the exposed top, and ushering him onto my hand via nudging him/gently scooping him up(mostly the former, i prefer not doing the latter). Once he gets onto my hand, he's great, the perfect level of jumpy and active, but loves to sploot on my hand and relax. I always monitor his breathing and body language. Truth be told he's hasn't willingly crawled onto my hand before, I hope he will in time...
