Default Re: help

Does he normally take food from your hand? Something else might have spooked him, maybe he's just having a weird day. No need to worry unless it becomes an established behaviour.

He might just not know what a blueberry is! I would make sure it's well washed so it doesn't possibly smell like pesticides or preservatives or anything strange and then try cutting it in half so he can smell the tasty inside. Maybe just leave it in his cage for him to investigate in his own time. Half a blueberry might be a more appropriate portion for a chinese hamster anyway, their risk of diabetes means keeping an eye on their sugar intake but I'll defer to a chinesey keeper on that.
