Re: Brushing shy hamster
i also got a long haired syrian like a week ago, he came already tame but can still be jumpy at times. mine also gets his paper bedding stuck to him he also gets his seed sprays stuck to his tail and belly when he climbs and ive been stressing about brushing him and all the tangles stuff too but from what ive noticed it comes off easily when they run on the wheel and any that doesnt he will most likely remove when he starts cleaning himself. i was worried about the paper and a little of his poop that got stuck to him when he was running so i tried picking it out with some tweezers when he was drinking but it got lost deeper in his fun, 5 mins later he's cleaning himself and got rid of it. if he does start getting mats before you can brush him then you could always get scissors and try carefully cut it out (you might need someone to hold him if he still isnt tame)
