Hello to you all from Oxfordshire
Hi All - My name is Claire and I'm from Oxfordshire. I got our new family pet hamster last week. His name is Fudge and he is now just over 6 weeks old. He is a very cute long brown haired Syrian. I purchased him from a Breeder at one of the Midland Hamster Club Shows. I'm very new to all of this and although I have done an awful lot of research (since having hamsters as a child) I've still got a lot to learn!. At the moment we’re having a small issue with nipping when out of the cage so I’m sure I’ll be calling on you all for some advice very soon.

Re: Hello to you all from Oxfordshire
What a stunning looking hamster, his cheek flashes are so dark (like sideburns). I reckon the nipping is just he's not completely tame yet, by tame I mean he's still a bit nervous of you, or else your hands smell of food. He will get used to you quickly if you don't rush the relationship. Congratulations on your beautiful Fudge

Re: Hello to you all from Oxfordshire
Fudge looks lovely. Hopefully he will stop nipping as he gets more used to you and handling.

Re: Hello to you all from Oxfordshire
Hi Claire, welcome to the forum & congrats on getting Fudge, he's a very handsome little man!
As the others said the nipping should stop as he gets more used to you & to being handled.

Re: Hello to you all from Oxfordshire
Thank you all. I'm still persevering with the handling every evening and he hasn't nipped again (as yet).
