Oh Engel, you are so sweet to write all this for me. Thank you so much. I really did not expect you to write all this. I am very touched. I have never seen a guide to bonding with hamsters on here. Thank you.
From reading your tips, I think my mistake is looking into Orko's eyes. I did not realise this was threatening and I will stop. I have been just sitting opposite his cage and chatting. I have never attempted to touch him. Thank you again.
