That's real good advice. Getting up or getting ready for bedtime, less jumpy as well. Also slightly cooler temps they're in at that time as hide should be at cool end.

Seems to me that petting or having them on your lap either because of lifting or their own crawling are the places to start. Actually lifting the animal off of the ground can be a touchier issue so trust in other things first can be important before lifting.
