Following my hand....

[Hamstermadhammy]

My hamster Trixie(the second time she's done this), keeps following my hand around.

I just cleaned her out(1 hour ago), and I just put my hand in for a minute, and then she was following me around. Now, every time I go in her cage she follows my hand-like I put it in and she keeps climbing up my arm!

Is this natrual?

[StarlightSerenity]

Natural - probably not.

Normal for a pet hamster who loves her owner? Definately

Thanks it's just I end up with red paw prints all over my hand!!
My hand doesnt even have to be on the floor-it's in mid air!

When we put our hand in Angel's cage (mid-air) she just climbs up it as she knows that's the quickest and easiest way out! Even when she's got the freedom from her cage though she'll sometimes crawl all over us, trying to get a higher viewpoint from the floor and will climb up our arms, trouser legs, tights - whatever's on offer! It's great when they trust you that much

It sounds as if she's happy and confident with you.

We really hope that's what it is too as we absolutely adore her

Its like she's begging me, she clings on to me and wont let go!

Anfreda does this when she's grumpy with me and wants a chunk of my finger!
