In order to develop that special bond between you and your pet, getting to know your dwarf hamster is as critical as knowing how to care for him (or her) correctly. They do not need a lot of upkeep or work, and they're actually a large amount of fun to watch, playing and frolicking in their own space.
These tiny creatures love to be clean, so you'll have to spend a while keeping their environment clean and unencumbered by any waste, debris and build up of dirt. Ensure that you are doing this daily, with a once-a-week refresh of their bedding, and other items in the cage. They'll love you for it.
Keeping your pet healthy by way of a good nutritious diet is an alternative way of guaranteeing a chuffed and friendly hamster. The small Dwarf Hamsters also need a healthy exercise routine, and having play appliances in the cage doubles a fun activity and exercise. The indisputable fact that all these things will make your hamster satisfied and healthy, implies that the bonding process will be less complicated and faster to develop.
Watching your pet play and move around, means you can study his or her peculiarities, and by knowing how they think or what they enjoy to do, you can easily join in on the fun by making some unique tactics to play with them. Just remember they're quite shy tiny creatures, so getting to know your Dwarf Hamster may take a while, at least till they get to know and trust you.
You can try to hand feed them after a bit, to get them used to the smell of your skin. This gives them an identity and something that they can relate to security and safety every time your hand is near them. If they fear or are certain of something, you'll find they can typically dart away to the cover of darkness, till they think the threat has moved on.
Hamsters can become possessive about their property. Try to leave their environment alone without upsetting the layout, or the position of items in the cage. This is except for the ordinary cleaning routine, but it remains simple to replace items where they came from, so the familiarity remains intact. This is not to say you can not shift their play apparatus around to provide some break in routine, just the feeding bowls, toilet area, and other necessities.
Often you might get bitten (nipped) when you first start to have interaction with your new pet. Do not let this worry you, as it'll actually take time before they get to know who you are and you pose no threat of danger. After they feel like this, you will find the nipping will go down.
Confirm that they're fully awake before trying to handle them. When they're frustrated with you for some reason you'll be able to see their ears curling back. All of these habits will become better known to you when you have started getting to know your dwarf hamster.
