They are very cute. Can I ask where you got them from? Only normally baby hamsters should not leave their siblings until they are around 6 weeks old, your babies look very small still! Are they being house seperately?

Gorgeous colours! Makes me want to have hamsters again, but my dad won't let me have any more animals =p

Baby Syrians can leave their moms at between 21 and 28 days . . . any older and they would start breeding and/or fighting.

Thanks
The photos were from the second day we had them and yes, they are housed seperately.

They are gorgeous, ive had my first ever syrian for a week on wednesday
He's started taking yoghurt drops from my hand but wont let me try to touch him he's mouthed my finger and perks up when i call him.
How should i go about taming him? i know im probably being impatient lol When i got my ratty he came fully tame
Toffee, soo sweet, i think he might be about 10 weeks

It will be quite hard to tame him. Nervous Hamsters stay nervous, thats why you should always handle the hamsters before buying, you should buy them based on their personality rather than its looks
Saying that, our old hamster was slightly nervous. It took a few months of carefully handling him and building up trust (like feeding him different foods from your fingers and buying him treats...) that he became handle-able.

So just be patient and try to catch him and feed him in my hands?

I couldnt find anywhere that sells then fully tame anyway

Yeah...thats what I did. But don't over handle him, it will stress him out
