It helps if you don't handle them too often in at least the first week, then slowly introduce yourself to Blinkie to get him used to being handled by you. Don't pick him up from above, this might startle him as most predators pick them up from above. Carefully pick them up from underneath when you do handle them, make sure you give them plenty of support so they don't scramble and claw looking for purchase.

I don't think so... but I've never raised any from hatchlings so I don't know.
