We have two dwarf hamsters, both males, called Luigi and Mario.
They're only recently purchased and incredibly skittish. As soon as we go near them they hide. (we got them last Sunday, it's now Saturday)
We tried to feed them treats but they saw us, squeaked and hid back in their house! Do we lift the house? We rubbed our scents on one of their toys. They don't even come out when we're far from the cage.
Secondly, we keep hearing squeaking. They could be squeaking at us being in the room.
I'm really sad that they're not liking us and not sure how to remedy the situation.
