I think that the best word to describe them during handling is inquisitive.
They seem to spend most of their time buried but almost always come to the front of their cages to watch me when I'm in the room. At least with mine, they don't really allow handling unless they've come out of hiding to see if you're bringing food.
On food, BTS are prone to obesity and breeders recommend feeding once a week. I feed mine a mixture of preservative-free wet dog food and greens (I spread the mixture into an ice cube tray and thaw when needed). I also give mine vegetables throughout the week, just whatever raw veggies happen to be on the menu for the people in the house.
I'd be surprised if this bluey didn't find a good home quickly.
