Default Re: How would you take an untamed hamster to the vet?

I had this issue with my robo a couple weeks after we got him. He has a little snuggle pouch and I put treats at the back to get him to walk in, then cover the front (so he can’t jump out) and place this into his pet carrier. A Syrian might be a bit big for a snuggle pouch, but you could definitely use a tunnel, as Serendipity said. Also make sure they have a bit of cucumber (for hydration) and scatter some food in the pet carrier. I’d also recommend a hide of some sort, just make sure it’s lightweight (cardboard or grass work well) and bedding deep enough to dig in (if the carrier allows it).
