Re: Foster hamsters
Gaining Rodney's trust will take a while but we're making progress.
He put his front paws on my hand tonight to get a piece of cucumber. I also took him out of his cage briefly in a mug to let him walk around on my lap. He sniffed me for a bit but kept going back to the safety of the mug so i'm keeping these sessions very short.
He's still quite nervous and jumpy but his natural curiosity definitely works in his favour.
He loves this little corner sandbath. Thinking that i'm doing him a favour, i put a larger one in last night. He sniffed at it but wouldn't go in it so i put the old one back in while he was asleep and there he is, happily chucking sand about again.
I've also exchanged his house for a bigger one which he likes. He even dug a back door tunnel as a short cut to the outside pee corner. He's an organized hamster.
