neko is a great name, I am assuming it is a male Syrian hamster. Hope you did research befor getting this pet. hamsters may seem little and it may not look as if they need much care, but they do.

Dont play with it for a couple days and give it tons of treats, Let it take them from your hand. you should join a forum I commonly use, called www.hamsterific.com I hope you see you their sometime.
