Hi! So I have a 3 month old male Syrian Hamster whom I've had for a month. The taming process has been very slow and I’m trying to do this right by not pushing his bounderies He’s gotten quite used to eating treats from my hand, he sniffs my fingers and it okay with me stroking his back. However, he has lunged at me twice while I was putting his food bowl into his cage. Teeth bared and hissing. Scared the bejeezus out of me to be honest! He was like a little fluffy ninja doing a war charge! How do I not instigate this behaviour? Or help him feel more safe. The little critter has me at my wits end 😫
