How do i know if my hamster likes me?

Question

my hamster shakes a lot when i pick him up (i do stroke him) he poos a lot and makes a noise plzzzzz help

Answer 1

Through my 2 year observation, after I have bonded long enough with a new hamster,  it will be calmer (heartbeat is normal), groom itself on my palms and occasionally it even l**k me!

The pet shop salesperson advised me today to wash my hands before handling hamsters as they cannot take too high a temperature. Washing your hands will cool your warm hands.

If you are still new with your hamster, it will take time for it to get comfortable with you. Don't worry! I took about 1 month to bond with my first hamster.

Answer 2

It sounds like your hamster is very scared.

If he is very young, this is normal.

If he is new, he will also take a while to get to know you.

I suggest you get him out every night, for only 5 minutes but work up in time as he gets more comfortable with you. My hamster peed/pooed alot but she got used to me after a week.

Also, let him smell you so he gets used to your smell and try feeding him food from your hand to tame him more. Be gentle.

Depending on how long you have had your hamster and how much personal you have given is dependent on how it will react. Just like a human being in a new situation or having something new happen may frighten it. If you plan on holding it alot doing it in slow careful movements will help your hamster to get used to you.

Hamsters in general poo alot and pee uncontrollably sometimes, just the nature of the species. He/she is probably making a noise because it is just nervous around you but over time he/she will get used to you and start to get to the point of enjoying your attention.
