How to get hamsters close to their owners

Five methods

First, provide a good living environment.

Give hamsters a comfortable living space according to their habits. The cage should not be too small, and there should be enough room for activities. The bottom of the cage can be padded with hay and sawdust to keep the cage dry; The water dispenser is placed in a suitable position to facilitate the mice to drink water; The toilet area is fixed in one place. If it goes to the toilet at will, it will often clean the rat cage. If the living environment is suitable, hamsters will relax and accept their new owners quickly without being nervous.

Second, feeding should be regular and quantitative.

Fix the feeding time of hamsters and let them get used to it. Hamsters remember the smell of their owners. When they smell the owner's smell while feeding, they will feel it, and they will gradually get familiar with the owner.

Third, call them by their first names.

Hamsters are not only sensitive to smell, but also sensitive to sound. The owner can give the hamster a name and call it by its name every time he feeds it or chats with it. Although the hamster didn't know you were calling it at first, it would react after a long time.

Fourth, feed in the palm after getting familiar with it.

At first, you can take a long strip of food. If the hamster doesn't resist, then you can gradually change it into food that can be fed in your hand. This feeding process can let the hamster know that you are not a threat to it. After a long time, hamsters will naturally feel your kindness and will be willing to be close to you.

Fifth, more interaction and more intimate contact.

In addition to feeding to increase intimacy, the owner can also play some games with the hamster, feed it some snacks, or prepare some toys to play with it, which can effectively accelerate the warming of feelings. Then you can try to hold the hamster in your hand. Don't scratch directly at first You can poke the hamster's head with your finger first. If the hamster dodges, stop. You can touch it more if you don't resist. After a while, try to put the hamster on your hand, which can gradually deepen your feelings.
