Took a few steps further after she seems to have settled in today. She seems so calm and friendly but with a very inquisitive, yet mischievous personality. I have to say I am very impressed with her as there are no problems from what I can see with her health check, she is very docile, a lovely colour and she has never attempted to bite me or make any distress noises at all!
Today, when I first got her out in the playpen, I talked to her and stroked her. Then I put my hand in so she could walk onto it which she did not do so I gently scooped her up and she was
so un-tame its untrue, jumping and running everywhere(no pain). But then we went in the bath(no water) and I held her and with in around 30 minutes she let me pick her up, handle her so very comfortably its unbelievable(nothing like in the playpen) you would
never have known that she was a new hamster! I know there is a lot more taming to do, but I am so happy with today and considering she is a pet shop hamster I am over the moon with her! Some pictures from today:
