Handeling during brumentation?

So, Chomper is from what I can guess brumenting. I read about it and all he does is sleep. He doesn't eat much..except dogfood. He still scarfs that down..which is why he hardly gets it :)
Anyway, He doesnt like to burrow as much, I used an old cardboard box and cut a hole in it, He sleeps in there all day. But when I'm on my bed reading a book, he comes out(my bed is right next to his cage so he is maybe a foot away while I'm reading.)Well he comes out and starts flicking out his tongue and gettign as close to me as he can. So, at that point I take him out and let him join me on the bed. He usually curls up against me or burrows in my blankets..Is that okay? I mean, Should I leave him in his cage? I don't want to not handle him because I did that for a few days and he started getting huffy when I went to pick him up.

That should be fine. I find during brunation they want out of their cage for a moment and then they curl up in a blanket and go right back to sleep. Shouldn't really matter where he sleeps as long as he is warm enough. :D

Okay good!
I dont keep him out long because I dont want him to get cold but I'm glad that he will be okay.
