Answer 7

Well I certainly understand the feeling of your pet! she just want to go out and do some strolling and advertures just like her relatives in HAMTARU ( I guess your familiar with this cartoon series! ) I guess why she watch you during cleaning time because she want to know more the details of your face and if their is certain time when she will be lost, she will definitely remember your face. If she bites your hand, maybe she's hungry or just want to express her love to you.

Answer 8

IS YOUR HAMSTER USED TO YOU?

He is still new to his surroundings and scared. This behavior is very normal in hamsters who are new to their surroundings and hence get very jittery.

Taming can be a long process, don't expect your hamster to suddenly like be handled over night. It can take weeks or even months depending on the hamster. Here the the steps to handling a hamster -

STEP 1 - When you first get your hamster leave it alone for the first 2 - 3 days to let it get used to it's new cage and surroundings. If you pick him up on the first day itself, he will definitely bite you since you are a stranger to him.

STEP 2 - Once the hammy seems comfortable in his new cage, start talking to him softly and hang around his cage enough for him to get used to your voice and smell. After this time feed your hamster some treats from your hand so he get used to seeing your hand. This might take a few days to happen but be patient. If you feel that the hamster still bites you, you can use gloves initially.

PRECAUTION - always interact with the hamster only when he is active. If you touch him or disturb him when he is sleeping, he can get angry and bite viciously.

STEP 3 - Once your hamster seems confident with taking treats out of your hand you can try to start handling your hamster. Before you handle your hamster make sure you have washed your hands well. Hamsters have a strong sense of smell. If they smell something on your hand they may mistake it for food and decide to bite!

Get a cup or something similar and place it into the hamster's cage. He should come to investigate and crawl inside. Take the hamster and cup out of the cage and let him walk out onto your hand. While you do this make sure you're sat down or sat close to the floor incase your hamster decides to jump. Let him walk from hand to hand. Be careful you don't grab or wrap your hands around your hamster until he is fully tame as this may scare him and he will jump out of your hand.

STEP 4 - Once your hamster is more confident with you, you can start to pick up your hamster straight from it's cage. Just make sure your hamster is aware that you are there, if not you may suddenly scare the hamster and it may turn around and bite you.

Best way to hold hamsters is to make them climb into one hand and cupping the other hand softly over the body so that his head pokes out from the gap between your two hands. Remember, do not apply any pressure on his body, he will get scared and snap at you.

I am sure your hammy will get used to you in a few weeks and would be more than happy to let you handle him. All the best!

Answer 11

Answer 12

Maybe your hampster is hungry. Feed it and see what happens. Or pregnant.

Answer 13

How old is she and how long has she been living with you?

If she is young she may be calling for her mother, or just scared of things moving.

Same thing if you just got her, she's probably terrified.

Do a little Google research on "Hand-Taming Hamsters" and see what you can do to stop the biting. :]
