Answer 2

Your son doesn't need to go to the doctor. A hamster won't have anything that can hurt him. Teach him to hold him in a way that doesn't put his fingers near the hamster's mouth. Make sure he has no food scents on his hands. wash his hands before handling, as the hamster will smell what’s on his hands and out of curiosity bite them and Does the hamster have a wheel to run on during the day?

ive heard hamsters bite a LOT..not all of them, so i dont know if yours bites a lot...

my friend has a hamster, and anything you put in his cage, he would bite...i put a plastic lizard thru the cage and he bit the end of it off...

so it could be that he just likes to bite!

Well have him wash his hands first then make sure they are not wet before u pick him up. Make sure he is not nervous when he picks him up cause they can sense his nervousness. And no shots are needed.
