The pinch test with a paperclip is clever. Doing that before I buy next time.

Stopped buying the yogurt drops too. They really do make them picky about proper food.

Checking the bottle is actually releasing is the one daily thing I would never skip. Lost a hamster to a stuck bottle years ago.

The weighing point. I started doing it weekly and caught a slow drop early because of it.

Treats from the hand and not the bowl is the single best taming tip on this forum.
