update on what my father calls "hamsterdam"
I have this bin that I like to put my hamsters in while petting them and such, because they are new and not entirely tame. Marshmallow still bites. I don't know what to do with him. Also, I think it may be because he loves to bite the bars of his cage, and well....ANYTHING that goes near him gets chewed on or bitten. It's interesting.
Well, tonight I was playing with my teddybear hamster Oreo in the bin, and I looked away for 2 seconds, I look over and she's HANGING OVER THE SIDE OF THE BIN trying to escape! I was like "oh no you don't!" and grabbed her and put her back in the bin, cuz I wanted to see how she did it....turns out she's a little hopper, and was able to hop to the rim of the bin (it's kinda shallow, but my dwarf can't get out of it) and climb over.
She lets me manhandle her now, which is good, but she's still SQUIRMY and tries to get away, BUT she doesn't try to bite me, which is a definite plus.
