I got my hamster about 1 month ago, she was tamed. She would let me pet her and come onto my hand even if I don't have a treat, and won't run away if I try to pick him up. Now he's starting to run when I try to pick him up, even if I'm scooping him up. And he will only come onto my hand if I have treat, and he gets all excited when I open the cage, it's a bin cage. And I thought it was because he wanted to play, but once I try to pet him or let him walk on my hand he just smells my hand and just ignore it cause I don't have any treat. a Now when I try to pet him he just backs up from my hand. I don't know what to do. I know he's tamed cuz he's not hiding from me, and he's not afraid and takes treats.
