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 !

Thank you so much! This is very reassuring! I will downsize the cage as soon as possible. Great to hear about your experience with your hamster to know that it's no only mine. Thanks again xx
