Default Re: Hi to all hamsters and their owners

Just go slow, climbing onto your hands was a big step for him, don't be in a rush to pick him up, just keep letting him climb onto your hands for a while until he's more confident with that then move on, to begin with just lift an inch or so for a few seconds then gently lower your hands again increasing the slowly.
When he's more confident with that see if he'll climb into a tube (one hand over the other end!) mug, or something you can safely transport him in for out of cage time, I wouldn't try lifting him out with your hands until he's really confident.
They are sensitive little things & vary so much as individuals, that one of the things that's so lovely & fascinating about them!
