Default Re: New hamster behaviour- help! x

It sounds to me like general settling in behavior. In fact, your hand being in the cage may have had nothing to do with it at all. Your hamster being adventurous may actually be a sign of stress, meaning he needs more time to settle in. Three days can be an okay amount of time to let them settle in, but every hamster is different and some may need a much longer time to settle. Maybe leaving him for a few more days would help? All in all, it doesn't sound too unusual to me as you haven't had him long so his personality might just be shining through and this is what you're seeing. Keep an eye on him and let him get used to you and living in your house
