Default Re: Help... I’m new to this:)!

Try a sand bathe my hamster was grooming himself a lot at first but he soon settled down after the first month think it was the stress of moving and not having a sand-bathe when previously in the pet store he seemed to have one. Some hamsters experience stress due to moving as well as most likely a switch of food as the pet stores and rescue centre may use different ones to the one you have. Try maybe going a bit slower with handling as he maybe not ready yet or nervous still, try giving him a treat while holding it or place it in your hand so he has to walk across your hand to get it that seems to help build there confidence as they associate you and being handle with something positive
