I can't really look her over good because, as I said before, I have a cold. I do need to handle her though just to look her over and check her nest and whole cage for tufts of fur that she lost. Since I have a cold, is it okay if I put on rubber gloves and a mask so she can't catch it?

P.S. This is not the right time to get a cold
