  With Monkey, I just had to do it. She doesn’t like it, but you need to get used to picking them up, because if there is an emergency, you need to be able to get him into a carrier. So just practice.

  Yes and be sure to securely support their back legs and spine, or they can hurt themselves thrashing about like wild things.

  Hannah is awful about picking up – even the experienced vet techs really struggle with her. I would recommend setting up his area in a way that he can get in and out on his own and not pick him up.
