Hey there! I have a Syrian hamster named Roo (his full name is Rudy "Roo" Shade McTeasis because I shouldn't be allowed to name animals). He's a very sweet boy, and his favorite chews are willow sticks, while his favorite toy is a grass woven ball (other than his wheel of course). His favorite treats are spinach and carrots, always in small amounts with carrots due to their sugar content, though he also really loves pumpkin seeds as an occasional treat. He loves playing and running around his cage, as well as cuddling up and falling asleep in my hood if I'm watching Netflix or drawing. I always wear my hoodies backwards with him for this reason haha. The taming process was quicker than expected with him, as after just a few weeks he would willingly take treats, crawl into my hand, fall asleep in my sweaters or cuddle, and let me pick him up every week or so to check him over for hidden injuries or signs of illness as well as to make sure his teeth aren't overgrowing. He's very healthy and happy, and whenever I walk up to his cage at night, he's always waiting by the door or has his head poking out of his house expecting a treat, a new toilet paper tube, or some soft back pets. I know not all hams are cuddly, so I was honestly quite shocked with how sweet he is. 14/10 the best boy he has my whole heart <3

That is so cute! With my Chunky, taming only took two days because he resided in the shelter for 4 months. No one wanted him because he had red eyes. Roo sounds like a sweetheart. All of the hamsters I have had have been cuddly.

How many hamsters?: none atm but I used to have like 10, my friend and I used to breed our hamsters and they would switch back and forth between her house and mine so I'm counting her hamsters bc I was like their 'auntie' and I helped raise some of them (that's what we were to each other's hamsters)
Name/Names: Hammy, Misha, Syria, Froggy, Cinnamon, Holley, Bear, Leland, Brody, Cr*ppy (idk if i'm allowed to say that here but don't ask why I named it that lol)
Tricks?: uhh idk what exactly you mean by that (i'm dumb sorry) but I did train Misha to jump through hoops if that's what you mean
Picture (if you want):https://orig00.deviantart.net/d409/f/2018/308/a/c/banner_by_echoofcanada-dcr804g.pngI could go on and on about all the crazy things those dudes have done/been through, like seriously I could write a novel lol
