Default Re: Hamster Doesn't Like Thumb

Thanks a ton for the tips guys, and she is just an absolute blessing. I gave her another treat today before reading these, and your tips worked great. Telling her a firm "hey!" when she was testing another finger just a bit too hard worked like a charm.

She was interacting with me for a good 10 minutes, and really likes climbing up my arm. I went away to make some coffee, and saw her searching for me where I put my hand down for treats. I'm going to try some out of bin time like you suggest in a couple of days or so, she does seem like a bit of an explorer.

I guess I have one more question, what are some signs that hamsters are done playing/interacting? I try to follow her cues as best as I can, and slowly pull my hand out when she heads away from it. Sometimes she just comes right back, and seems to want more time with my hand.
