Hamster won't come out to tame

[Otaku]

I agree that patience does pay off dividends. My boy isn't keen on handling but he will take food from me, he comes out of his house for fresh foods, and when I do a substrate clean he'll come and have a good look at what I'm up to and sabotage my efforts... sure he's not cuddly and he can still be a bit skittish but generally he is comfortable with me, we just have different routines. The fact that he popped out at noon does make me think that midday may have been feeding time at the shop/breeders/rescue.

No matter what, don't give up hope, he will come around. xo
