The first day I bought her home I probably handled her for about 10 mins all up. She seems to love being held and she doesn't struggle or fight to get away from me and often just likes to sit curled up on my shirt or she wraps her tail around my thumb and just sits on my hand.

I then went away for a couple of days so she had some time to settle in to her new home but I took her out again for about 10 mins when I got home. Since I fed her, I haven't handled her at all because I've read that it's best to leave them alone while they are digesting a meal (or when they are shedding). I plan on handling her most days as long as she's happy for me to do it.
