ArdenLuvsRuki You should not take them around in a pouch with you until I'd say about 5 weeks and if you do not for long. You should however handle the joeys often so they are tame and not skittish. Here is a handling schedule that will make very loving and bonded joeys:
Day 1-7 (O.O.P)- 5 min in sight of parents
Day 8-14- 7-10 min in sight of parents
Day 15-21- 10-15 min not necessarily in sight
Day 22-28- 15-20 min
Day 29-35- 20-25 min not in sight
Day 36-42- 25-30
And so on... By day 64 they should be weaned and can be held up to 3 hours
