The dwarf sizing being smaller is the opposite of what everyone assumes. Good that you said it.

Our daily routine, written out (it matters more than I expected)
The photo is the food bowl, about ten minutes into the evening.
I did not believe routine mattered until I had a hamster who went from hiding all day to sitting at the front of the cage at 8pm waiting. It took about two weeks of doing the same things at the same time. Here is wh...

The 8pm sitting at the front of the cage is exactly what happened with mine. Took about a fortnight.

Taming took me three weeks of doing almost nothing
I want to write this down because when I searched for advice at the start I mostly found either "just pick them up" or nothing useful at all.
Week one: nothing. I did not touch him. I sat next to the cage at the same time every evening, talked in a low voice, and put a treat in...

Handling over the bed instead of standing up is such a simple fix and I had never thought about it.

Bedding: the one upgrade that changed everything for us
Sharing this because it took me two hamsters and a lot of reading to get it right.
When I started out I used maybe 4-5cm of bedding because that is what the pet shop cage came with and it looked "clean". My Syrian slept on top of it, in the open, and woke up at every little nois...

Switching from seed mix to pellets — how slow?

Mine was the same at 10%. It was 30% mixed with his old food that finally got him eating them.
Try soaking two pellets in water for a minute first, the smell changes completely and mine suddenly ate them.
Mine took about three weeks. What worked was cutting the pellets in half and scattering them in the bedding instead of the bowl.

Filling the whole base sounds nice in photos but it is a lot of bedding. One deep end has worked fine here.
The bedding-in-the-bowl problem is universal. I raised mine on a little platform and it mostly stopped.
