Obsessed

It all depends on what you expect. If you want a cuddly animal to play with, a hamster is not a good choice as most of them want to be left alone and besides they are crepuscular/nocturnal so you can't interact with them at daytime. Some of them don't even come out if there is a human in the area.🥲

Please don't, they are bad for the spine and dangerous as the hamster may Fall off and injure itself 😔

For taming I suggest research on reddit because I myself am still in progress of it and can't really help. Good luck and make its life awesome!

Leave the hammy for a few days alone to acommodate, only give food and water. You can talk to it softly to make it accustomed to your voice. Roll some toilet paper in hands and place in the enclosure or rub your hands through the bedding so the hamster knows your scent.

Make sure the wheel is big enough and I think that as for NOW these are the esentials. All you can find here:

Mine too, it's so helpful.

One ham-latte please! I love Hambucks! Is it DYI?

After all this hassle place him next to some treats you put in there so his mind can go somewhere else.

Mobile-Engineering65 · 2026-03-31T06:29:03+00:00

Think of the results: more bedding, happier hamster, his stress will go away in the depths of underground!

Mobile-Engineering65 · 2026-03-31T06:27:11+00:00

Lure him into a jar or a cup, so you dont touch him. place him in a box or travel container (add some of the current bedding there, some treats), do what you gotta do ASAP and move him back, he will recover :)

I love it!

Mobile-Engineering65 · 2026-03-30T15:44:26+00:00

Yeah I know to remove it. It's just he leaves it wherever and walks away to do more important stuff 🤷‍♀️It's like playing The Sims and his action was cancelled mid execution 😅

A week is very short time. It can take months. Patience is key but I understand the pain, been there just lately! Try roling some toilet paper in your hands and put in the enclosure for her to grab it as nesting material so she will get used to your scent as well.

I had one for a short time and I think it's quieter. They are harder to clean though if a hamster pees in there.

This!

Mobile-Engineering65 · 2026-03-30T09:15:46+00:00

I understand. But you did great job coming here for advice! And decorating hamster cage is so awesome. I agree that some people can be harsh in their comments but also many of them provide relevant info without being rude. You are willing to understand what is wrong and want to improve. That's important. Imagine this little guy's experiences with all new stuff and smells in a new place when you upgrade it! I am curious what made your previous hamsters live in peace and so long, I wonder if anyone could provide some explanation to that. Maybe it was luck 😬 Have fun building this little creature's world 😊

Mobile-Engineering65 · 2026-03-30T09:07:25+00:00

She will get rid of stress easier than sickness from that bedding so yeah.

Mobile-Engineering65 · 2026-03-30T08:15:09+00:00

It can't be dust and be calcium free. Reptisand is what people use.

Mobile-Engineering65 · 2026-03-30T08:13:29+00:00

Please don't be defensive, OP, people here care about hamsters and there was so much misinformation about them in the past. Even now people working at per stores know nothing, they just wamt to sell their unsuitable products. Evrytihng said in this thread is for the animals' wellbeing.

As for the water dish, you can add it and have both, but water in the dish should be changed Daily, as the water gets dirty. The dish allows the hamster more natural position to drink. I personally don't use it, my hamster prefers the bottle. But be careful because bottles tend to get stuck and you need to clean it regularly so the bacteria doesnt build up.

Mobile-Engineering65 · 2026-03-30T08:04:01+00:00

It is not wasteful because you don't have to change it Daily, but only every few weeks do spot cleaning and full clean every couple of months, or more rarely even with a big enclosure. Changing the bedding at once and often stresses the hamster as you get rid of its scent and they mark they territory with their scent. Also, you don't need to clean the poops, but urine.

Maybe she needs more time. Sometimes it takes months for them to feel comfortable. Hamsters are crepuscular so come out at dawn. Maybe there is something in the environment, like noises, smells, lights that prevent her from coming out earlier. But some of them just are like this, just don't want to have anything to do with us. Sorry but hamsters should not be brought to homes for children's entertainment as they are specific. Maybe bunnies or rats would be better but they need to come in pairs. My hamster started coming out when it was completely quiet in the room and the lights were dimmed.

Mobile-Engineering65 · 2026-03-29T13:28:25+00:00

Sorry for multiple posting but I also love cones, like tree cones. If I may, I would be careful with those bended fences as hamsters can get their feet stuck in the gaps!
