Answer 9

Hamsters depend only on their sense of sound and smell and not their sight. Hence if you make a sudden noise near your hamster, he would definitely jump. The best way to calm him is to prevent making those sudden sounds and when you go near him, hang around him to make him know through your scent that it is you only before you call out to him to prevent him from getting jumpy.

Hamsters are scared of new sounds and scents too, so if your hamster is not yet used to you, first spend some time taming him so that he starts trusting your sound and smell implicitly.
