Re: Introducing Orko
I sat on the floor when Orko was out and spoke to him. After a minute he went into his burrow.
Tomorrow marks one month since he moved in.

Re: Introducing Orko
Great videos Cloudy, Orko is doing really well. We’ve had Hams 7 months now and he literally clears his food bowl in minutes to run off and hide it in his nest area, so I hide other bits around his cage to get him to forage for them; he’s also partial to a nice piece of millet

Thank you, Stanza.
It is lovely to get an update on your hamster too. I have been thinking of him.

Re: Introducing Orko
I'm curious cloudy, are you going to try and give him a treat or physically interact with him soon? Interested to see how that goes with little Orko!

I tried about 2 days ago but he went into his burrow. I want to get to the stage were I can sit by his cage and he feels okay with that. I think it is too soon to attempt to put my hand in his cage. I did try once and he was terrified. I think I need to go really slowly with him. I may be totally wrong, of course. I have not had a hamster before.

Re: Introducing Orko
I sat on the floor talking to Orko just now. He carried on as usual. I then got a mealworm. I put my hand in the cage with the mealworm on it. He ignored it and carried on. He kept running from the wheel to his bowls and back again which is usual for him. After a bit my hand felt numb so I removed it and left the mealworm.
I am pleased he felt confident enough to carry on as usual. I cannot show the footage as my arm looks like an elephant trunk and fills most of the screen!

Re: Introducing Orko
Oooh gotcha! Just caught up on this, you're probably going about it the right way. I've never had a robo, but as cute as they are I've heard they're pretty skittish.
Glad to hear he tolerated it the second time though, maybe at some point he'll be curious enough and ready to investigate!

Thank you. He is very shy. He does not like any kind of light, even sunshine. He will only come out in the dark and I cannot see him.

Re: Introducing Orko
Orko liked the flaked almond. He has been going behind his wheel a lot. I think he may be storing food there. I got some footage of him moving his bedding about. I wonder what he is doing.
