Default Re: Help with Taming, Please!!!

Hi there! Sounds like you're doing a great job already; hamster taming can be quite tricky...

Bathtub bonding could be one option as a next step, as it really helps you both get more used to each other and to handling, in a safe and secure place. Just pop a blanket (not a fluffy one, fleecy ones are good) in the bottom of the bath, and have some treats ready.

Then move your little one from her cage to the bath. One good way of moving hamsters who aren't fully tamed is in a large clean mug. Just pop a seed or treat inside the mug; she should be interested, and a gentle push will encourage her into the mug! Placing your hand loosely over the top will stop her popping out until you're both safely in the bath.

One of my favourite youtubers, VictoriaRachael, made a great video on hamster taming, I'll leave the link below:

hope this helps!
