Hi, thank you for your much appreciated advice. I washed my hands with unscented soap and Henry climbed onto my hand to get to the piece of carrot which is progress. I tried to pick him up with flat hands but he jumped into the air and tried to hide. Maybe he's a nervous hamster or simply needs more time and gradual interaction before I can take him out of his cage to play. I had taken the top of his cage to be able to put my hands in because the door is only big enough for one hand. Once I had put his cage back together he was fine and didn't run straight into his house. All good progress and thanks again. I had no idea hamsters are such sensitive little creatures which makes them even more interesting aside from their obvious cuteness.
