Hamster body language?

Asked by funadvice about 1 year ago, 4 answers.

I got a new hamster a few weeks ago and she is really tame now, But when I stroke her she goes really still and her tail goes stiff, Does that mean she is enjoying it or is she nervous/annoyed etc. Because I don't want her to think she has anything to...

fear and because she is still very young I don't want her to get stressed and develope wet tail.

Please if your hamster does the same or if you just know what it is can you please tell me, Thanks.

if its a her you probably should find out if shes spayed. YES my friend had a hamster once that did that but then my hamster started doing that so we figured what would happen if we put them together. (lets just say they hadd fun) Also youshould pick her up talk to her. Kepp her in a quiet environment and let her get used too sounds one at a time. MY hamster (current )doe that because thats ther instincts and they think that if they get still they cant be seen.
