Thank you for your reply cypher, that's really interesting.

I wished i could get into a hamster's head sometimes.
When he sits on my lap he doesn't go flat but starts to move and sniff around.
He's from a household with children and lived in a cage where he must have felt exposed. Maybe he took to pancaking because he couldn't run away and hide.

He's advertised but i think i'll take him off, move him in a cage he can stay in then leave him to settle before handling him again but using a different approach.

I thought he's suitable for a household with children because he is so tame and fairly slow but i may have misread him completely.
By rehoming to a suitable home i don't just mean a good cage but the humans need to be the right sort as well.
