To each his own. I have yet to come across any credible evidence (objective, science based facts) that T's 'get used' to being handled. A lot of it depends on temperament, a lot on the individual circumstances. I can think of no reason a T would have to be handled. There are deli cups, vials etc.

Yeh I'm not sure if a tin of tuna is too much in early phobia conquering. Maybe fishcakes or fish fingers....

At least if it's in a can you don't have to directly touch the fishy bits

That's true, and the cats won't get jealous and try to kill it.
