Congratul;ations on your new additions. I have had one Quigley(female) for a little over 4 years. That wa before they were hand fed and she has always been extremely tame. She is having her third litter now and she is still tame. She leaves the babies in my shirt and takes off exploring the house. Every once in awhile she comes back to check on them. About feeding. I feed about a quarter of an orange, a couple slices of apple and then try different things like grapes, chicken, meal worms, yogurt, mixed frozen vegeatbles, bread. I don't give them all of this every night just try new things once in awhile so they don't get too picky. If you are worried that they need more because they are eating absoluitely everything give just a little more until they leave stuff. They will eat more as they get older too. Good luck.
