I notice that my hamster seems more nervous/scared if there is too much open space, so i suggest having some tubes and hidey spots in the tub. I usually also include a sand bath so he can pee in it if he wants, and water in case he gets thirst. Then i frequently offer treats when he gets near my hands. If he seems frantic (scratching to get out while looking at the exit) or scared (zombie hammmie mode, totally still and doesnt react to anything) I put him back in his cage. But usually he loves the tub
