Re: New hamster screaming
It's best to leave hamsters alone for a week while they are settling in.
I understand wanting to handle them as soon as possible, but what happened tonight with you is your hamster letting you know he is unhappy with being bothered at the moment.
Hamsters screaming - especially when being handled - is their way of letting you know they want to be left alone, and is quite common with new hamsters as they are stressed from being in a new environment.
Give Hugo about a week to settle down before attempting to handle him again
