So today Sammy and I had another of our 'Tub Taming' Sessions. It was our first 'real' bonding time (she was actually crawling on me and not running away the whole time). So I decided to play another game with her. I placed the treats on my leg again, but i also placed some on my hands. She took every treat I had. At the end to congratulate her on her amazing progress, i put a carrot in the palm of my hand and let her walk on and get it. While she was eating it I petted her. While I was petting her I had this great feeling inside. I can't even describe it. Anyway, tub taming is a great method, and i recommend it to anyone that is having trouble taming their hamster. PS. When they crawl on your feet it tickles, be prepared for that!!!

I know this is not a mouse forum, but would anyone know if this method would work on pet mice? It's a great idea! Dwankrista?
