Hi all

I got my first dwarf hamster last week and he seems content. Just 2 a few small things I would like help with please:

1. He flatly rejects the paper bedding. I left some in the cage all week and it's still in the same place! Is this normal or have I just got a crazy one lol.

2. He takes food from my fingers when I hold it. When I have the food cupped in my hands he bites. I tried to use a glove and you'd have thought I was an attacker or food the way he was going (I calmly moved my hand away and placed the treats down). Is it too early to say or will he be a look but don't touch? If so, I could look at him all night as he's certainly amusing!

3. I scatter feed, but he doesn't hoard it. Whenever he is hungry during the day he comes out and forages for it. I am assuming this is fine but again, seems weird!

4. I was thinking of getting a robo. Is there a 'safe' distance between the 2 cages that I'll have to keep? I was planning on putting them in the same room but not if it will stress them.

Any help would be appreciated!
