Allowing your hamster to acclimate to his/her new environment is an important building block to gaining his trust. Finding a good location for your hamster’s cage will ease his acclimation. A warm room is ideal for your hamster, especially if it is draft free.  The room should not be very busy with human activity—this may be bewildering or frightening to your hamster.  Your bedroom is usually not a good place for a hamster cage, since your hamster is nocturnal and will make a lot of noise while you sleep. Give your hamster at least a few days to acclimate to his new surroundings. During this time, your hamster will start familiarizing himself with where things are in his cage (food, water, sleeping area).  Do not be concerned if your hamster is washing his face or grooming himself excessively. These are not signs of nervous tension, as is commonly believed. Rather, he is scent marking and claiming his new territory.  Scent marking allows your hamster to recognize places and items in his new home. Your hamster will probably see you as a huge predator at first. You do not want to confirm his perception of you by approaching his cage in a threatening manner. Instead, your approach should be slow and quiet, with no sudden movements or noises. Try talking to him in a low and soft voice when you get near to, and reach, his cage. During those first few days of acclimation, your hamster may hide in his cage when you approach it. He may still be very wary of you and his new surroundings. Over time, though, your hamster should relax enough to do normal hamster activities, such as exploring his cage, when you are nearby.  Talking to him in a low and soft may help him relax and be comfortable with your presence. You do not need to stand by his cage for long periods of time. Try standing there for a few minutes at a time to see how he reacts to you. Once you see him going about his normal business when you are nearby, continue talking to him. The sound of your voice will continue to help him adjust. Consider offering him treats when you are near his cage. Place them in the bottom of his cage, since he will probably not be ready to take them from your hand. It is very important that you do not touch your hamster during his adjustment period. Acclimating to his new home will be hard enough without you trying to handle him and pick him up. Talking to him and being near his cage will be sufficient.
