Jabberwocks are flagged as animals hence won't use items, or else this would have been obvious long ago. They weren't flagged as no-hands, so a hero in their form could wear gloves and/or wield a weapon (or a cockatrice corpse, whose ineffectiveness when used with a claw attack which followed a bite attack led to the discovery of this oversight). I'm not sure what a jabberwock ultimately looks like, but am pretty sure that it shouldn't have usable hands, particularly ones which are only usable by a poly'd hero and not by jabberwock monsters.
