They seem to realize that people are alive but no particular danger to them. They seem to like to watch people and want to climb us. They can be difficult to get back into the cage in fact, because they try to stay on the hand holding them.
They can move quickly when they need to but don't run from you and stay still enough that it's only a small worry over inadvertently crushing one while handling.

I find it happens a LOT while cruising these forums that I learn new things I didn't know I didn't know. It's hard to research or ask questions when you don't even know where the holes in your knowledge are, but just reading everything I can get my hands on has offered me a lot of interesting information I never would have found otherwise. This is one of those times. I knew nothing about these little guys until this thread. I'm finding it fascinating. Thanks for sharing!!
