We've had a Syrian for about three weeks. He's about three or four months old, not sure. Our last hamster was ok about being picked up but this one leaps out of the hand, makes weird squeaking noises and generally won't have it.
Been trying to put nice fresh food on our hands which he will take but that's as far as it goes.
Really don't want to be trying that thing always recommended on the internet where you sit in the bath with them. Apart from anything else I don't see how we'd get him that far.
How long does this take, or are we stuck with a hamster we can only look at?
