stroke him/her, every day with your finger gently on his/her back, and after a few days of doing this, try to carry him using a cloth in case he wants to bite again,if he/she tries to escape from your hands, he's not ready yet!! keep stroking him and hand feeding him his/her favorite food!! tips; hamsters loveee peanut butter,carrots,lettuce and crackers
its hungry
Since there in the dissent family and their brain isn't really that big I doubt you could train a hamster not to bite but if you handle him more and let him get used to you he will most likely stop biting you
A while ago I had a hamster which was always biting. At first I thought he had a nasty temprement, but later I discovered he had a problem with his intestines which was causing him pain. There is no way of stopping a hamster biting, but when you handle him try using garden gloves do avoid getting bitten.
It's hugely unlikely that the hamster died b/c of biting you. More likely it bit b/c it was already feeling ill, and then died.
It is called gnawing and all rodents do that. They do it because rodent teeth never stop growing. If you are not sure what exactly a rodent is its a bunny,hamster,guinea pig,hamster,rat,ect.
well, biting. the hampster may bite you.....
Get him a chew toy
By biting and scratching. Most likely they would run away. I had a hamster a few years ago, they have sharp teeth and mine had claws, so they can bite and scratch, they also hide and/ or play dead Hamsters protect themselves by biting or hiding. usually biting. Biting. or peeing if scared, or mouthing (not actually leaving a mark) to tell you it wants you to put it down. Hamster bite. In the wild, many types of hamster empty their cheek pouches of seeds and whatever they've hoarded to distract their predator's, which are mainly birds of prey, the bird stops to eat the seeds while the hamster makes its great escape.
it might be biting itself or it could be a disease causing it or try new bedding
this more than likely means your hamster is only used to your sent and no one else, how to prevent this um this may be difficult to prevent but you can try taming you hamster to the other people it is nibbling... OH I nearly forgot if you hamster IS just NIBBLING and not really BITING the other people it may be because their hands smell like food or something tasty to your hamster! Hope this helped!
You can do several things to stop your hamster from biting you. - Speak to it softly and use its name whenever you see it or are in contact with it. -If you are wearing a t-shirt, for example, put the hamster on the sleeve while holding your arm out. That way, it has time to sniff and get used to you and it can go onto your arm if it wishes. -Wash your hands. If you have just been eating, then the hamster will detect food and therefore bite you. -If you are sweating, then there is an increased chance of it biting you. The hamster can detect sweat and if it senses you are nervous, it will get confused and nervous too. So wash your hands more. -Try not to wear gloves, as it will never get used to you. -Dont pick it up straight from the cage, as it will get alarmed! I recommend inserting a small box into the cage, and getting your hamster to go in it. Then GENTLY tipping the box onto your lap. Another way to pick it up is to put a toilet paper roll or some type of roll into the cage. The hamster will most likely go into the roll, but if not then gently coop it up and carry it into a carpeted and quiet room. then, you can speak gently and try to hold the hamster. Repeat this method for a while and eventually the hamster will become hand-tame. CAUTION: when you are moving the roll you have to be VERY steady.
Well how long have you had it? Maybe: 1. You need to play/train with your hamster some more. 2. Or it maybe just doesn't like you.
