Hamsters

Making Friends

Though hamsters are naturally curious animals, they are easily frightened and will be anxious when they first come to live with you. I f you spend time getting to know your hamster, it will stop being frightened of you and become very tame. For the first couple of days, your hamster needs peace and quiet to settle into its new home. You will need to provide food and change the water, so he can start getting used to you, without the stress of being handled. You can even train him to come to you when called. Start this by whistling or saying his name softly and tap on the cage gently before you put the food down. He will soon learn that your voice and his name mean something pleasant.
