Good advice on using a smaller cage. I got a baby dwarf a few weeks ago and he is a totally different hamster depending on whether he has a big cage with lots to hide under or a smaller cage.

When in the big cage, I basically never see him and he runs in his tunnels as soon as he sees me. In the smaller cage, I don’t bother him if he is sleeping in his den but strangely he comes out a lot more, sits around, cleans himself and does his thing even with me besides him. And when I go to pick him up, he doesn’t even try to hide.

So yes, smaller cages for a while are definitely a taming tool !
