I did it again, another rescue adopted from Austin's Hamster Rescue and finally a boy and a little bit younger for once, 6-7.5 months.
He is a bit of a scaredy cat, so taming is going slowly. I will have had him 2 weeks tomorrow, he will take food off me, step onto my hand for food, has just started to walk across my hand if it is in the cage (but still suspicious) but still spooks at any little bit of noise and shoots back to the safety of his house. then ventures back out again.
Because of this, do you think I should leave it longer to clean him out, so far I have left his cage totally alone for 2 weeks. I just don't want to stress him out but also I don't want him left in a dirty cage. Thoughts please???

I think he is a black eye, long haired white, but on a night you can kind of see cream patches in his coat - so any body an expert on this and confirm what colour he is?
