Nice to see Max settling in. He looks very sweet and gentle. It sounds like he is still settling in really and may get more confident as time goes on. Charlie was always quite reclusive, but he was a different hamster when out of the cage. I used to just put his veg in his sputnik to make him go half way across the cage to get it lol. And get some exercise. He got to expect it there and always went there first to look for it. A sputnik might be a bit of a problem with his leg possibly? But just an extra dish or something somewhere other than the food dish, so he gets to know it's his veg place. They all have their preferences. I try and give a different veg each day - raw carrot, or broccoli or baby spinach or cucumber. All used to go. Cucumber was favourite I think.

I think he sounds incredibly sweet and a bit shy.
