Talking Hi! Nice to meet you :3

My name is Elisaurous, I am 14 years old and I live in Romania. I am a scout. I love nature and animals, but also art and mostly sketching/drawing. I listen to metal, rock, indie, reggae mostly. I am am not really a metalhead because I can't afford albums, but when I'll live by myself, I'll support my favourite band, hell yeah. Hehe, I forgot to mention that I looove tumblr.
I am a new hamster mom, to my sweet lovely, syrian hamster named Tofu. I got him yesterday... he was and still is so grumpy, ugh...
He is white, with pretty fluffy kinda long (but not as long as most long haired syrians) white fur, and red eyes. The girls at the petshop knew nothing about pets and are honestly idiots, but they said he is 2 months old, idk. I have him in the Alaska Hamster cage, with Hemparade bedding he has 3 paper towel tubes, a hide house with shreded napkins, but he moved them in onther corner and now sleeps there and not in his house and a big bendy-bridge like bridge, but a lot longer.
He also kinda hates me, I often put my hands gently in his cage, he doesn't mind me, but if I go near him he would sniff me, sometimes also bite me. Sometimes he approaches my hand and sniffs me,.. and sometimes bits me...
I got to have him in my hand, in his cage, with him being calm and not wanting to bit me, but he would fastly go down and continue his job.
I don't know his personality.. When I choose him, he was sleeping.. and he was in a tank with another one like him, but fluffier and more active (I wanted to choose that one, but then I taught about how people ignore me and I have no friends because of my anxiety, and because I wear brown, green, gray, black, blue ad not "cute" colors.. and I look boring and scary or just "emo" (I don't like emos at all, and I am not one).. and everyone choose the other hamsters but not him because of his loneliness and messy fur).. Tofu had and still has a clumped dreaded little chunk of hair, and.. he's pretty badass.. :3 I love him even tho he frickin' wats to kill me.. I hope we will bond someday..
I'll update you guys with photos of him when he'll wake up
PS: I didn't know if I should talk about me or Tofu, so I did both ^^

Hello and welcome to you and little Tofu! Fun to hear there's lots of other metal fans on this forum I'd leave Tofu alone for a week or so before attempting to handle him again. This will give him time to settle in and become used to you and then you can begin by talking softly to him as well as leaving tissue with your scent on it in his cage. It's nice that you chose the one that others may not have, all hams need a chance! Looking forward to seeing some photos

Welcome and yeah Tofu (great name by the way) will need more time to settle in. A new home is a lot for a hamster to take in, all the new sounds and smells can be a bit overwhelming for them and then if you start trying to handle them that can be too much and make them scared.

In a week or two you can start slowly taming your hamster, for now just talking to him calmly and putting some tissue in his cage that smells like you will be plenty to get him started liking you.

Welcome. Hope once Tofu settles in you can build trust and be able to hold and stroke him.
