hey folks,
as the title says i got my little boy several days ago. he's settled in great.. eats like a horse and loves exploring lol. i did months of research before getting him and had his new home set up a few weeks before he moved in. the only question i have is about handling him. when i lift his hide at nite to socialise with him, he's obviously curled up tight in a ball.. if you touch him he jumps and starts breathing very loudly and his spikes stand up on end. obviously i expected his spikes to stand up, in order to warn off predators. but in my research i didnt come across anything about the heavy breathing. i have to wear gloves to pick him up but once he's out he's absolutely perfect.. he's pokes his nose out and he's off exploring lol. will he continue to act like this when i try to handle him or will he settle down after a while? cheers in advance

Yes huffing is perfectly normal when they are first disturbed but it is good that he comes out quickly.
Try encoraging him out of the ball with a mealworm or favourite treat so you do not startle him and you will probably find he is much more relaxed about it. |

many of mine huff at first when being handled but then i have many that do not huff at all in fact they all wait to be handled.
