Hello from a first-time hamster owner

Just brought home a Syrian male, about 10 weeks old. He is still hiding most of the day but comes out around 9pm.

Looking forward to learning from everyone here. Any first-week advice is welcome.

Twice a week is about right for a Syrian. For a dwarf I would go once.

Coming out at 9pm in week one is a good sign. Leave him to it and no handling for the first week.

Same as mine at that age. It was about ten days before he was out at seven instead.

Keep everything the same for a week, then start the hand-in-cage routine. There is a good taming thread on here.

Welcome. Ask anything, this place has been friendly since I joined.

The 9pm thing is normal, they are just settling. Ours hid for about a fortnight at first.
