UPDATE: the boys have started coming out around 7:30 pm if I have my bedroom lights turned out. If the lights are turned on, they usually come out when I go to bed at 9:30. I have started staying awake for about 30 extra minutes with my lights turned out so I can tame the hammies. They seem to be more relaxed while I have my hand in the cage and they don't freeze up nearly as much as when I started. They still run on their wheels, though not as frantically and they will mind their own business, walking around my hand cautiously. Last night Key Lime came up to my hand and took a dried banan from it and ate it just a couple inches from my fingers. Such a tiny action yet I feel like I've hit a milestone in the taming process
