Default Re: Bumble's funny antics

Bumble sounds lovely. Could you post a picture of her please?
I have a dwarf Edwina who didn't need taming. She hopped onto my hand in the pet shop and has done it ever since. She climbs all over me, sits on my shoulder to have a wash and yesterday she sat in my hand for ages just looking around and sniffing.
Maybe your Bumble is like that. If she wants to climb on your hand i'd let her. If you do want to take her out of her cage and she's happy with it be careful because hamsters can suddenly jump and leap from your hand. I cup my other hand gently over Edwina and sit on the closeby futon with her. You could also let her walk in a mug and take hwr out that way. Edwina won't go into a mug though. I took her out for a very short time at first and gradually increased our play time. Any sign of stress and i immediately put her back in her cage. Sometimes i misread her and she won't hop off my hand so comes out again!
Let us know how you get on with the taming. Trying to climb onto your hand after only two days is a very good start. She loves you back, you've found each other.
