I'm not that lucky, Pets At Home keep them wild so yea, she's stayed like that for the 6 monthish I've had her because every time I go to pick her up, something just stops me. I have the option of getting bitten (I think thats my fear) and taming her or leaving poor hamster in the cage all her life, which I really don't want to do. I'd love the empty bath idea, but if anything touches my feet I kick out, and I'd not want to kill her! I've kicked the dog before, it's just one of those reactions I have, I'm extremely ticklish. Nice to be back here though and hear from you guys! I'm going to try the glove thing, I've got a pair that I used to tame Nibbler which have been sitting around outside in a pine shed for years, so they shouldn't smell of anything but pine anymore... I'll try and use them.
