Answer 1

Use a glove. I have to use a glove because my hamster sometimes bites hard. I don't know how to stop it from biting you but try a glove.

Answer 3

First make sure it has water, because they can get ornery if they are dehydrated.

Second don't hurt it, but quickly, gently and firmly slide your fingers on the side of it's face every time it bites or nips you.

Don't wear gloves, because they cover your smell and the hamster doesn't recognize you. Instead, you can use your jammies or a peice of clothing that has your smell on it, a scoop your hammie up.

Well...I had a hamster and he didn't bite, but my friends did. What I would recommend is to hold him with a glove and get him confterble to being held because he might feel your a danger. Then after you held him with a glove feed him food like carrots or so vegggie or fruit then he will trust you more and more after that just rub a glove or somthing over his mouth till he wears out his bitting reflex!!! hope i helped :)
