perfecting taming

[Matty Day]

with my new litter I think I've tamed them realy well I just think they need some finshing off before they all go to their new homes.

I'm at the stage were they love being handled but wont jump onto my hand when I try to get them out how do you do this? all my others just did it from scratch none will walk out of their cage but will hapilly jump on to my hand

Our little Chinese girl is still very very shy and had her for months so sounds like you are doing a great job already Our little girl will only come to me voluntarily if I have sunflower seeds or peanuts which seem to be her favourite.

Hi matty some just won't do the hands bit maybe because they are more than one in the cage they realie on each other for company etc. I just pick ours up and the person who buys the new hamster can start this off.

I hope this helps.
