Answer 1

if your hamster is still new it means that he is still afraid :).. squeeking is very normal at first since they still don't trust the owner, but by time, and by patience he will get used to you.  the more gentle you handle it, the more it will get used to you and start loving you but this takes months.

thats weird... most of the noises hamsters make, humans cant hear. my girlfriends hamster sneezes all the time and it sounds like a squeak. but if your sure, there is probably something wrong with him because hamsters hardly ever make noises. try to take him to the vet.

but if its a dwarf hamsters they make a weird hissing squeak when they fight, or get hurt.

He may be scared of you. Keep him in his cage and pet him, let him get used to you. If that doesnt work he could have an injury. Hope this helped!
