Default Re: New Hamster

Congrats on your new ham.
If you've only had her a few days or so then just take your time, if you're nervous about picking her up she will sense that & it can make things harder for both of you so just try to relax around her & not rush things.
If she's already taking food from your hand that's great, she will probably soon just walk onto your hand which is the first step, once she's done that a few times you can try just very gently & slowly raising your hand a little gradually increasing the time & height that you lift her (not too high though!) then you can try just putting your hands under her & scooping her up, one step at a time & I'm sure you'll do just fine.
