No, i don't swaddle him. I get it over and done with as quickly as possible. Henry is like your Harold and wriggly. I pick him up and tilt him slightly backwards but have to put him down and pick him up a couple of times while giving him his meds because he's so wriggly. Luckily, he's a very tame hamster.
