Default Re: djungarian hamster fast breathing

Ive had him for 2 days now. they said he might be about 2 months old. I got him from Petco, and he is in "Soft Paper Bedding" which is the brown/gray stuff i see around a lot (i saw "fluffy" was very bad and this is not that stuff as i saw from pictures).

He seems better today, more active and outgoing. Ill try to slow down a bit on interactions so he can get used to seeing me and my wife. I thought we might be coming on too strong, took him out a few times yesturday for maybe 10 minutes each. I read that maybe to tame him i should set him in his play area and keep my hand down to let him come to me rather than me pull him to myself.

when outside of his cage we have a "play pin" we got for him that lets him run around and be safe. We also had gotten him a little pet bed thats a soft and just large enough he can walk around inside and he stays in that on my desk. We did get him a ball as well which he seemed to like but might be still a little small for moving it.
