What type of hamsters don't fight?

Answer 1

See the Related Links for "All About Hamsters" to the bottom for the answer. Hamsters handled frequently from a very young age usually remain docile and rarely bite. Those with docile temperaments and a history of not biting can simply be picked up by using one or both hands, and then held in both hands or in one hand held against the body. Many hamsters develop untrustworthy personalities and begin to bite because they have been handled roughly or suddenly disturbed or awakened. Hamsters whose personalities are not well known must always be approached cautiously. A glove or small towel can be used to pick up these hamsters, or the animals can be encouraged to crawl into a small container, which is then removed from their enclosure. Unknown hamsters and those known to bite can also be picked up and restrained by grasping a large amount of skin behind the head. As much skin as possible should be grasped between the thumb and index and middle fingers because their skin is so very loose. In fact, hamsters can literally turn nearly all the way around within their skins and bite a handler if this caution is not heeded! Hope this helps!

Any hamster will bite, some are less agressive.The small ones with the stripe down their back are VERY agressive. I believe the Teddy bear hamsters are more mellow,BUT they are an animal and will bite when scared!

Answer 3

Any dwarf hamsters eg Campbell's or Chinese dwarf hamsters are more jumpy, more likely to escape from a cage, hard to handle and more likely to bite you than a Syrian Hamster.

If you want a hamster that it friendly, you should choose a Syrian Hamster. These are much easier for young children to handle and there are two main types of Syrian- the long-haired and short-haired.

I would strongly recommend a long-haired Syrian as these are very cute, very fluffy and not likely to bite.

You should keep in mind that male and female hamsters are different as well- females are 'moodier' than males, but that doesn't mean they will bite you.

If you train your hamster properly (start off by wearing gloves when handling it for the first couple of weeks and avoid making loud noises when you are near) it will get very used to people and this means it will not bite anyone.

Hope this helped!
