hey thanks for replying, I actually have a Syrian Hamster too (named Gilbert), I didn't have a bathtub near by but I was able to find a tub I could use for now. I used it while I was cleaning his cage, because he luckily was trained at the store to get in his hideout so I could safely transfer him without scaring him, and he finally let me pet him a little (or more likely I finally build up the courage to pet him) and then was trusting enough to wander around his cage and eat while I was moving stuff around in his cage so I'm hoping to keep making progress.
also quick question should I rearrange his stuff cause they like to explore or keep it the same (which I have been doing.)
THANKS AGAIN!
still new to this website pretty sure I didn't reply right but thats cool
