Re: Robo Dwarf Hamster Help
Russian hams are generally easy to tame but robos tend to be a bit of a challenge unless handled from a very young age, I wouldn't give up though, although some never really do get hand tame patience & more patience can really pay off!
I wouldn't try to hurry things at all, you may need to go right back to the begining & take as long as she needs at each stage, so begin (if you haven't already) with the tissue trick & keep that up for a while, to begin with just be content with talking to her quietly when she's out & about, when she's happy with that & doesn't run off then begin to put your hand in her cage with a treat on it, don't move your hand at all, it may take several attempts but after a while she will probably get curious enough about the treat to come to your hand. If you get to that stage just slowly move on from there.
