I'm so sorry! I didn't read the text below your post! But I'm happy to hear that this only strengthened your bond, I hope I have the same experience with Baloo

Re: Hello! and help
Update! Today Baloo ate a piece of banana out of my hand! she even followed my hand out of her hideaway! Although she did let me know with a little squeak when she was done with the attention. I think this is progress!

Just go slow Naomi, waiting that bit longer is worth while and very rewarding.

Re: Hello! and help
I am so happy to hear that Baloo took the treat from your hand. You are making real progress. Remember to let Baloo set the pace, no matter how much you want the process to speed up. It is always good to let your hammie set it.
So excited for you!

Re: Hello! and help
I am so thrilled that Baloo took the banana from your hand. That is definitely a good sign. I agree with everyone's comments. I would totally take things very slowly with Baloo. I know that it is quite hard to do so, but it is completely worth it in the end. Just keep talking quitely to him, using the tissue trick, and slowly offering treats but do not attempt to pet him right now. Let him get used to you and feel completely secure and comfortable before adding the next step in the taming process. Good luck and congrats on your 1st hamster. I know that the two of you will have a wonderful time together.
Baloo is absolutely adorable. Thanks for sharing the pic. Good luck.
