Answer 2

Hamsters are NOT social animals, he probably sees you as a rival, an invader to his turf. Remember hamsters in the wild live in harsh arid climates, the only times they socialize is to mate and raise their young. All other times they're out for themselves. If you want a rodent you can interact with get a rat.
