Im taking in a hamster from a friend at the weekend as she feels she can't look after it properly anymore, dd has been asking for some kind of pet for a while so I thought a hamster would be a good start.
Anyway I don't think it's been handled very much and is very skittish and takes every opportunity to break for freedom and jumps out of hands when held, very happy to run around in a plastic ball but id really like dd (7) to be able to hold him confidently.
How do I get it to be comfortable being held and not leap about?
