Hi guys,
After my Syrian hamster passed away last week I have just gotten a new one two days ago. My previous Syrian was 7 months old when I got her and she was never handled.
When I got her I was able to tame her so that I could pet her and she'd take treats from my hand (got bitten once) but that was as far as we got.
My new hamster is young (they said she's only been taken away from the mother recently) and I've been able to pet her and give her food from my hand but I'm afraid to pick her up
I've let her settle in the past 2 days and she's been looking at me through the bars and I've put a few things into her cage (wheel, tunnel, edible house, cardboard box, tissue for bedding, chew thing) I have more wooden toys and tunnels for her but I need to sterilize them. I was wondering if you guys have any tips for me to be less afraid and to get her used to me holding her.
