I adopted boris who was about 10 months old! Saw him on local rspca website and well he looked so scruffy and a real fluff ball I had to have him! He was very shy first week or so but I discovered he liked to feel secure so I would wear my dressing gown when holding him he loves nothing more now than sitting on me and eating his snacks. It does take time and each hammy is different hope he settles well it’s an amazing feeling knowing you’ve rescued!maybe try him in bath tub with you sat in it? So he safe but has interaction with you
