Lisa,
Since its small, an easy way to tame it is to pick it up with one hand wearing a glove. then with your other hand, gently place it under its back half of its body (the key is to place it under, not grasp it) as they can definately tell the difference between gloves and bare hands. B4 u know it, it will be used to the feeling of your skin.
Just let it do what it wants in your hands.
after a few short handling sessions like this, try picking him up from behind without a glove, but be confident, do it fairly quickly, or it will tag u...lol
i always like to handle small nippy bloods, between my thumbs and pointer fingers. I have had great success just taking it easy and slow with my WC bangkas.
Now i can just reach in and grab em up.
Goodluck!
