Why is my hamster making a clicking sound?

Question

i was just playing with him on the back porch and he started to make little clicking sounds. I think I have heard that it means they are happy in guinea pigs. is it the same for a hamster???

Answer 1

As far as I am aware, this sound in hamsters is a warning sign. He's probably a bit irritated.

Answer 2

it probably doesn't fell safe or comfortable and is acting defensive or you're handling it to much and its irritated

Answer 3

it means that if you pick him up he will probly bite you there is nothing you can do about but leave him alone untill he feels more secure

Answer 4

my hamster always makes clicking sounds, and it's mainly because he's about to bite. it's usually their teeth.
