My new Campbell hamster Oreo is perfectly fine when I have food on my hand and he will come sit on my hand and eat it. Although, he does get super scared as soon as I touch his back, side or anywhere on him and he goes completely psycho and flips around everywhere, flies into the walls of his 650 sq inch cage and looks terrified. I have had him for two weeks and have been working with him slowly but at this point, I dont know what to do.
