Re: Hamster help - sniffling?
Hi
You're best to just let her regain your trust by putting your hand in the cage when she's awake, curiosity will get the better of her and she will have to investigate, the worst you can do now is to force yourself on her, I'm sure she'll come round. Also never pick up a Hamster from above..... your hand resembles a bird of prey, always scoop Hammy. Good luck, persevere with patience :-) |

Hi there, I got a hamster for Christmas so she is pretty new and she is only just coming round to the idea of being handled. She is still very nervous but is getting better every day. She seems to be much mroe comfortable now that she knows the sound of my voice. Im sure your hamster will come around too.

Re: Hamster help - sniffling?
Hmmm that was a really weird noise. I thought is sounded like it was coming form the larynx (voice box) rather than the nose and wondered about a particle being lodged there and irritating the vocal cords or even a laryngitis (a particle being morel likely).
But she did not seem to be breathing rapidly (as she would if actually choking) and seemed quite bright and alert in her self. If it is just fear (and I would doubt that) then nothing beats frequent, gentle contact and handling. Get a wire foldable play pen and sit in there with her and let her investigate you at her own pace. We have had some timid syrians and they all come around eventually, some just take longer than others.
