Hamster Issues!?

Question

Hi, my hamster always turns his head when I try to pet him, will he bite or just curious. Because I have seen his teeth, they are long. I don't want to get bit by those! Please help.

Answer 1

I have a Dwarf Hamster so listen......

do not be afraid just because you have seen his teeth

i got bit and i barley felt a thing.So just get him.He will bit you a little bit.So if you are mature, you will not cry if he barley even bits you.

Good Luck!

he shouldn't bite you as they have a great temperment when they get used to your scent he will be more confident he may be a bit nervous dont worry he is fine hoped this helped !!!!!!!!

Answer 3

give him chew toys to trim his teeth, always talk to him and give him treats so he gets used to you.

Answer 4

Don't be afraid, just get courage and pet and hold. He will get more and more tame as you handle him. When you put your hand in let him sniff it, suck it up if he bites. It won't be that hard, just a taste test. Just be careful, squeezing him won't help the situation. Hold him near the ground in case he jumps.

Answer 5

If someone taps you on the shoulder, you look at them, right?

Think of it more like that. (:

He's just curious and as long as you're being gentle and he doesn't feel threatened, he won't bite you.

Hamsters seem less likely to bite if you're holding them outside and away from their cage.  So try picking him up and holding him a little bit while petting him.  This will keep him tame, social, and he'll probably be less prone to biting you.

Answer 6
