Lotus is so cute! He looks a lot like my past hamster Onion (only smaller - Onion was a bit of a chonky boi!). That's great that he's already approaching your hand - good luck with the taming!
So adorable! My new hamster penny is also a winter white dwarf (probably hybrid) and she’s also so anxious but we’ve been taking it slow and she’s really starting to become more comfortable!
He's super cute 🥺 I'll have to try using a smaller quarantine enclosure for bonding next time I get a new hammie. Most of my current ones are ghosts and although I don't mind that they're not social and cuddly it does make things like health checks very difficult
my guy Hamilton was much more frightened than I expected him to be when I got him home and put straight in his cage. Almost a week had gone by before I put my hand in his cage. He ran, full back up into the corner, paws in the air and screamed in absolute terror. This frightened me as well I have to admit. I could see I had to take things very slowly. Hamilton is my first hamster in over 36 years. So basically I had no clue. Struggled but eventually found some great local (ish) UK based hamster FB pages that have been of major help. Anyway, for many months I used a plastic jug to transport him from cage to playpen and then progressed to a cardboard tube (walking in one end, to be magically transported to the playpen the other end.) He does let me handle him now. Still skiddish, and jumpy but he's a ghost and that's how he wants it. I have the cheapy hamcam on him so get to see what he's been upto without disturbing him. I've been so lucky with my Syrian, He's 2 years and 3 months now. :) I love watching your builds cos you're an amazing crafter. Gorgeous little Lotus, so timid and shy. I look forward to seeing him progress cos he looks such a darling. And what a beautiful grey colour. 😇
This video came just in time! For the first time ever, I recently got a scared hamster, all my past hamsters were always social… so these tips will come handy for sure!
my hamster just jumps at my hand and latches on and does not let go. Ive had her maybe 2 weeks now. tried to tame her after 5 days. she just attacks my finger. I bleed every time
This video needs to be watched with the sound turned on if you want to understand what is happening, rewatch with the sound on if you would like an answer to your question :)
@@SomethingAnimal LOL i listened to the video now. interesting. maybe we never see our hamster and he's always in his burrows because we haven't had this approach with quarantine? he's impossible to find if we need to go to the vet and vet said he was aggressive. he also doesn't want to climb onto our hands and we need to grab him to put him into his playpen which i of course don't like to do but he's constantly escaping from us and seems bored in his enclosure thus the playpen time.... when i think about it he also trembled on various occasions (now i don't remember when was that)....he is also very sleepy. he's been sleeping ofr more than 16h a day and we literally never see him. at 6am he's already sleeping and doesn't come out before 22:30 or even later so there are little opportunities for us to bond with him😞

@@SomethingAnimal sorry, i never watch videos with the sound on:-)
Well you will never know the answer then :) Maybe consider books instead of videos!
