Hi
I cleared out my little jamie oliver's hamster heaven cage last night and sat watching him carry all his food and bedding up to his penthouse
He happily emptied his food out and went back for more and more lol
Then he started with his bedding (we use the cotton wool type) and as i watched him take this out of his pouches i had to turn away as i fealt sick
It seemed to me like what looked like his tongue or something long and thin and pinkish colour was stuck onto some of the bedding and he was trying to pull it off and made me feel quite ill watching him
My partner sat and watched him and eventually went back inside
He seemed to think that it was his pouch not his tongue but it was more of a long pipe type thing than a pouch
Please help as i am worried about him, but he does seem ok now and did straight after
It may have happened before but i have never witnessed it
Also does anyone have any tips on taming them as i want to pick him up but im afraid of being bitten
My partner tried to pick him up soon after we had him and got bitten and we havent tried since
