I'll have to be patient, because there is no way in hell I am returning to Pets at home and their terrified untamed hamsters

The petshop hamsters haven't been handled but you should be able to tame a baby hamster. Some take more time than others no matter where they come from.
I have a Syrian who came to me as a terrified and traumatised baby but with lots of patience and time he became a confident and tame hamster. I find that i form an even stronger bond with a hamster who needs more of my help than the ones who are born tame and i have one of those from the petshop as well. I love them all but there is something special about watching a shy hamster slowly learn to trust their human family. You'll see.
What kind of cage do you have? Is it the Hamster Heaven?
