He will be stressed out when you get him, weez is right, QT him first, and let him get used to the general surroundings.

I have used a large bowl instead of a net, because it always seems as tho they tend to blow up when you stress them out, and getting them out of a net is a PITA.

Blow up a balloon, put a dress on it and make it look sexy?
