I read an article saying you shouldn't start taming in the cage but remove the hamster first I.e your first interaction should be on the sofa or similar.

We've mostly worked from outside the bars, to inside the cage to out. The article prompted this post as it's a different way of looking at it. Didn't disagree with the wisdom behind the article and I don't think it was wrong - but hasn't by and large been our approach - although was with our first hamster.

It's interesting. Wondered if anyone else always removes the hamster to a neutral area rather than placing hand in cage to offer sweets and things?
