Thanks Thin Lizzy and cypher for your replies!
Libby has proven to be a picky eater but he loves his mealworms and all of his fresh veg(except cellary)! He will climb on my hand with no problem and really dose seem to love attention! He still isn’t a fan of being stroked our touch but we have been making progress with that. Hopefully I’ll try to get some good quality photos tonight and share them with you guys! Have a great day!

Pleased to hear that Libby is happy to take treats from you and vacuum linseeds up of your hands sound like a great bond is forming between you both.
Celery seems to be an acquired taste with hamsters - my girls I have tried it with also tuned their noses up at it.

Lovely to see more of LIbby, he certainly does seem very attached to his alligator!

Here is a quick little update on how Liberty’s doing.
Libby is doing very well and is very trusting of me! He is very happy to be handled and loves exploring new things! He is really good with being stroked. His sleeping schedule isn’t the best for me as he wakes up at around 10:30pm or later! He loves to burrow and likes to beat the heat in his seramic mug! At times he can be calm and sit on your hand while he eats his mealworms and he can also be very, very active and will be running around his cage like a child that ate to much sugar! I just realized that I haven’t told you his weight yet, as of July 7th (the day we went to the vet) he weight about 46 grams (he did have a little bit of food in his pouches). I’m going to weight him tonight to see if he’s gained or lost any weight.
He is so perfect (except his sleeping schedule lol) and is just the type of ham I wanted!

Oh! I also forgot to mention what cage he is in in this thread. In case you do not already know, he is the IKEA Detolf cage cage which measures 1,024 sq in.

Lovely pics of Libby, he looks so content in his home with plenty to keep him amused. The both of you have a wonderful bond.

Hello and welcome to HC! Congrats on getting your precious Libby; I absolutely love his name and the sentiment behind it as well! Those are such great pics; he is extremely adorable and looks like he is having a great time exploring his lovely cage setup. Is he hiding inside his orange mug that looks like it may have a white, yellow, and black Halloween theme on its side? I think it is so precious that he is so fond of his alligator chew toy; my Eros adores hers, too. I'm glad that Libby has settled in well, and the vet doesn't see any respiratory issues. I hope that the taming continues to do well and you both have many amazing years together. I look forward to seeing you around on the forum and getting to know your darling Libby.

Thanks you Thin Lizzy! It really means a lot to the both of us! We do seem to be building a strong bond together!

Thank you dreemtree for such a kind reply! He is hiding in there and yes, it is a Halloween mug! Our neighborhood had a garage sale and I couldn’t resist its cuteness! Libby loves eating his veggies and the occasional snooze in it! He is quite the chewer a loves his alligator and cheese chew!
