Yes it would be nice to be able to hold him. He was handled a lot before I got him and had a couple of vet visits as well - I think rather than taming him it made him hate hands! Although I know robos are notorious for being scared and shy.
When life settles down a bit I will make an effort to hand tame him but I do find getting into the top of the Kerry awkward - a front door would be nice
I hate to think of a Robo out of a playpen! Nightmare.
