Question on handling time

[Ministottie]

Recently I had a relapse and ended up laid on the sofa unable to move or function for about a week. I'm still fragile and so my handling time for my hamsters has drastically reduced. Hopefully I will be well enough to give them the attention they deserve soon, but what I wanted to know was as long as I'm giving them a little out time with me every night will they be ok til I'm well?

Marley gets around 15 minutes with me and in his ball before I have to put him back, and Peanut gets 25 mins every other night because she prefers to be left more than Marley. Kratos' taming has had to halt completely because I just can't give it the time it needs for now. I'm really worried about how this will affect them all, and just wanted some reassurance I guess XD

Thanks <3

I think it will be fine. You are giving them more time to feel comfortable and not stress out. I think it's a short enough of a break where it won't make much of a difference, but maybe your hams will be less wary of you when you will resume, if you're still working on taming them. Presumably, their cages should be interesting enough for them to have fun on their own.

If you have a friend maybe who could possibly come over and assist?
Im sure they wont mind you asking this tiny favour.
