So I have a lovely little sweetheart of a hamster named Daisy. She's almost a year old and I've been thru the whole taming process. I CAN pick her up when i need to, but it seems to make her pretty nervous. She gets fussy after only a few seconds of handling. I've been trying to work with her more to get her used to it, she doesnt lash out or bite you can just tell it makes her uncomfortable. Her heart rate rises and she tries to jump and squirm away, or worse sits still and shivers! I had another hamster of the same breed and gender and tamed her the same way and she loved to be held. Is it just a personality difference or are there any ways you know of to help make hammies more comfortable with handling? She responds rly well to my voice and seems to like beig talked to and i can reach in the cage without a problem so I'm wondering if shes just maybe...quirky? She recently moved to a new cage but the problem was happening before the move as well.
