  1. My hamster is able to, when I call her name, come. For instance, I can say, "Mocha, sit." She will sit right down. Amazingly, I was able to do this while showing her how I did it.

    I would sit down, and then I would ask her to do it, then I would give her a treat. Hamsters are great mimics.

    Make sure to treat your hamster while training, or he will never perform tricks for you!

    Happy hamster tricking!,

  2. you can teach him to " come here" by getting a treat in your hand and wen he starts comn for it pull bak slowly and say come here. it will take a little bit for him and a few trys.. you can also go on google and type in hamster tricks or hamster training and stuf.. good luck

  3. Teach him to lay on his back in the palm of your hand. Then rub his tummy to put him to sleep. that is what i would do with my lizard.

  4. Get him drunk, and get him a big cube cute all of the sides open. HE'LL LITERALLY FLIP LIKE CRAZZZZZY!!

    But seriously, get him drunk.

  5. hamsters are not very smart and they have a memory of about 3 days. if you are extremely patient and your hamster is exceptionally smart you can maybe teach it to come when its name is called. i wouldnt expect anything though. if you become impatient stop the training cuz your hamster might get stressed.

  6. Once you get past the whole "HAMSTERS ARE SO FREAKING CUUUUTE!!!!!!" thing, they dont do anything.

    Get rats, the learn tricks.

  7. Hamsters are not exactly as you would say, as "smart" as some other animals like dogs, but they are DEFINATLY NOT stupid! Hamsters can't be tought a wide variaty of tricks like as a dog can. It is easy to teach them simple tiricks like what they would do in the wild.

    Trick #1 --- Stand up!!

    You can teach them to stand up on their hind legs

    Hamsters often do this in the wild, so it is quite easy to learn. If you see him/her preforming this action in the cage rewards him with a treat or sunflower seed. Give this action a name so he can reconize it, such as "UP"

    Hold the treat right above his head and say "UP" give him the treat every time he preforms it. He should get the hang of it after a while. Be sure not to over feed!

    Trick # 2 ---Hamster Agility Course!!

    You can purchase hamster agility courses as seen below in the youtube video off of ebay, or pet stores. Just let your hamster follow the treat in your hand up, over, in, out, and around all of the obsticles! HERE IS THE VIDEO http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8OG9skVr...

    Trick #3------ Calling your pet by name!!

    This is one of the harder tricks to accomplish. Calling your pet by name. put your hamster on your floor, supervised by you of course. If your hamster comes over to you, lable that action his name (I will say Luna for arguments sake since that is my hamsters name) So when your hamster comes over to you, say "LUNA" and give him a treat. Let him venture off a little, and when ever he comes back to you repete the process. Always remember to reward with treats. This trick is very hard to learn, although some hamsters grasp the concept quite quickly!

    Good luck with the tricks =D
