When he seems less nervous, it's time to pick him up. Hold him gently but securley so he will feel safe and and protected. Soon, you'll feel comfortable with each other.
Hamsters can't speak but they do have feelings and they express them through body language. If you watch your hamster closely, you may understand just what he is saying...:
*When he yawns and streteches with sleepy eyes, he's content
*When he sits up, he's very curious and something he smells, sees or hears
*If you notice your hamster making continual quick jerking motion, or a sudden face washing, it means he is frightened.
*When your hamsters clean each other, it's a sign of affection |
