Re: New Russian Dwarf Owner, Settling In and Taming Tips
We managed to get him into my hand last night, just held flat with a pile of sunflower seeds in the middle. He was very cautious but no nibbling, even licked the crumbs from between my fingers haha.
Though once he got off and started exploring along my arm which was also flat on the substrate he had a nibble on my arm which was fine, he was quite gentle actually. I moved my arm away slowly when he started to nibble and he seemed none to bothered. I assume this is part of the way hamsters explore their world by their mouths and nibbling on things? Should I discourage this nibbling behaviour at all by just gently moving away or just leave him to it?
