In the past, I've had bad experiences with biting hamsters. I just bought a hamster a few days ago to help ease my fear and redeem myself from unknowingly false care of my previous ones a few years ago. This new hamster, Munchie, seems to enjoy his new home and adapted quite well. When the employee who originally picked up my new friend to give me from the store, Munchie did not bite and seemed pretty tame.
I've given him 3 days to adapt without attempting to pick him up. He's taken food out of my hands, but I get very nervous when doing so, which I think is making him nervous as well. What's the best way to stay calm when trying to tame your hamster?
