Step 2: Calm Your Hamster
Before dressing, it's important to calm your hamster. Hold them gently in your hand, stroking them lightly to soothe them. Remember, a calm hamster is less likely to be distressed during the dressing process.

Step 3: Dress Your Hamster Gradually
Begin by slowly placing the outfit on your hamster. If it's a shirt, start with the head, then gently guide their paws through. If your hamster shows signs of distress, stop immediately and give them a break before trying again.

Step 4: Check for Comfort
Once the outfit is on, check to ensure it's not too tight or causing any discomfort. The outfit should fit snugly but still allow your hamster to move freely. If your hamster seems uncomfortable, remove the outfit immediately.
