Here is just one of the many methods out there for taming hamsters successfully. Remember that taming is not supposed to be a quick process, it can take a few weeks or even a few months to fully tame a hamster so be patient.

It took an entire year for my hamster to become completely tame. The progress was amazing and so, so rewarding. I know that an entire year seems ridiculous, but my hamster was very stubborn, and I wasn't fully educated about taming at that time. Although, now, he is always happy to get out of his cage, and will happily and willingly take food out of my hand. I'm very satisfied with the progress we have made together. Good luck to any owners trying to tame your hamsters!

@lucasmckenzie8525 5 лет назад

My favourite taming method is emotional blackmailing. You hold your bitten and bloody finger near the nest and say "This...this is what you did to me, you little bastard. All I have ever done is love you. How could you do this to me?"

@Yeewen88 4 года назад

Lol I doubt that works at all though

@vonvonbearaj9050 4 года назад

Ok how much does it hurt to be bit like what does it feel like I’m so scared I’m 13 idk why I’m so scared

@Yeewen88 4 года назад

vonvonbear AJ depends on your pain tolerance I got a hamster on my 12th bday and I’m 13 now but I was bitten a lot and it’s not really pain

@danialicek 4 года назад

vonvonbear AJ it’s like 2 big needles going into your finger, it’s more painful because it’s such a shock. It doesn’t hurt for long but it’s a similar sensation to biting your tongue or cheek or banging your elbow - really painful for a few seconds then it goes away. Do what this lady says and you will be fine. Even if you get bitten it’s worth it in the end :)

Izkittyy well.... also I got another hamster and he died for no reason. I was upset but the pet shop gave us a free hamster, at least he's a baby so I know he will live long! He was the last hamster ( Syrian ) and I know why... I felt so bad because he was grey with red eyes. But not normal... he was such a little angel to me, he was very timid, but now he's getting tame-er! I love him so much, and his name is milkshake, because of his cherry eyes!

I have a dwarf hamster, I just got him a few weeks ago, literally on Christmas Eve Day so .. I haven't had him for long. And already, he has trusted me, I have picked him up & hold him. I already reach my hand in his cage & he has never once, bitten me. I think I got really lucky. He already lays with me in my lap or in my coat pocket. He'll lay for hours, I haven't trained him to do anything. He'll even sit there, on my lap & hasn't peed or pooped on me at all. He's a good boy.

When you clean the cage, try to leave your smell on the bedding, by rubbing it in your hands, this way she might get used to your smell

@teshagriffey8385 9 лет назад

Are those little tooth brushes the dog treat ones? Im a new owner of a wonderful dwarf hamster and I'm still learning. I've read in places that you can give them dog treats as chew toys. Which ones should I get? I'm always worried about him not chewing enough so most of his treats are "hard" (meant for hamsters tho). Only soft treat he has is the berry flavored yogurt drops which he LOVES.

@SomethingAnimal 9 лет назад

tesha griffey Yes those are the whimzees dog chews, they come in a few different shapes and they are great to encourage chewing in hamsters. Any kind of dog biscuit that does not contain onion, leak, garlic or pork is fine to feed, I personally find that the 'Pedigree' brand offers some really good hard dog treats which are great for hamster teeth :)

I had her in the taming cage (which is a homemade playground) and after playing around and find all the hidden seeds she asked me to take my hand down, she got in and got down inside her cage 🥰 so adorable with just one month old and 7 days living with me 🥰

@HelluuThere 9 лет назад

Hey Erin, I just have a question. I recently got my hamster on Monday and ever since I got her, she's been burrowing in her bedding and won't come out. Is that normal for new hamsters? She's supposedly a Russian dwarf hamster. (My pet store said she was.)

@davidpineda5429 9 лет назад

Sorry I'm not Erin, but I have had a Russian dwarf, and its normal, it liked to burrow and make tunnels and rest there. If you didn't know, hamsters are nocturnal (like to be active at night)

@user-vp9xc2hb1e 7 лет назад

Sydnee Chesley Yes it's completely normal. They are Dwarf hamsters so to tame them put your hand with some treats on it into their burrow then do these steps when it comes out

Erin, thank you so much for posting this. After "hamstersitting" for a good friend of mine a few times, he could tell how much I loved the hamster (a Syrian), so he let me adopt him. My friend's hamster kinda lived a punk rock lifestyle lol, but he was generally well cared for. I wished I had seen this tutorial sooner because it was only through trial and error that the hamster and I bonded. He still lets me know through chirps of disgust that he's the boss....lol :D

Or they are born not be afraid of any human I just don't get it... It's like they don't have emotion doing their own stuff... I mean the hamsters that I have now and before can somebody explain and sorry for my bad English

@jadeleann4716 8 лет назад

when you hamster licks your finger it means they are low on sodium, so go to a pet store and maybe a walmart and get a salt lick.

@izzybui1857 8 лет назад

Some hamsters are just naturally friendly. Just make sure that your hamster doesn't think you are a piece of food. Give them a salt lick and for sure some hamster chews. Just continue the taming process, just to be sure. Do it for about 3 weeks. Be patient, just to make sure your hamster is ready.

@jadeleann4716 8 лет назад

***** well not all the time, when my hamster got hurt and started bleed, she started rubbing against the salt licj and within a day she healed.

@izzybui1857 8 лет назад

Sometimes they might think your hand is food, or your hamster might be thirsty. Another alternative is a mineral chew. They are chews found at pet stores that are safe for hamsters to chew on, and lick.

@InsideTheBaux 5 лет назад

Hi Erin! I know this video is old, but I recently adopted a robo hamster that had been returned to the petshop. He has some neurological issues from poor breeding, and as a result, is one of the most skittish hamsters I've ever seen! I tried taming for the first few months I had him, but never got past the "taking treats I leave at the opening to his den" phase. He's so terrified of my hands that even during his health checks he panics dramatically (tries to launch himself from my grasp). This is my third hamster and I've never experienced something like this. I understand that every hamster is different, and because he's so uncomfortable being handled I try to avoid it unless absolutely necessary. Do you have any advice for this situation? Or at very least a method I could use to make his health checks feel less traumatic for him :/ I feel terrible having to stress him out.

@babygirlincorporated 3 года назад

I know in not Erin, but my hamster was very skittish for a Syrian. I think you should try an extra step that I used. It's not the *best* but what I did was put my hand in the cage and let her see me put down a treat near her. She seemed to be more comfortable with taking treats from me after this step. I know though, that all hamsters are different and this may not work, but it might be worth a try :)

Thank you for this video! I got my hamster, "Gnome" almost a year ago and I am really ashamed that I haven't been taking care of him that much. I have barley handled him, or cleaned his cage very often. I told my mom this, and she that "It's never to late to make a change." So yesterday, I cleaned his cage using all of the tips from you and HoppingHammy. Right now I'm handling him with gloves in case he bites, but to my surprise, he hasn't once tried to bite the gloves. I even set him down on my thin cotton pajama pants that I am wearing, and he never tried to bite. He seems very very sweet. If I think he's ready, I'm going to take off the gloves quite soon, and really start taking great care of him. I want him to have a good life, and know that I really love him. Thanks again! :)

3 days was the magic number, since we got her she hasn't had a lick of contact and has always run into her tube when she saw us. But today when I opened the lid to put in more food she came right out. I grabbed a piece of food from her dish and with a flat palm put it on my index finger. She took it with almost no hesitation. I was able to finish fixing her cage up and bring my arm in and out and she never ran. She even let me have my hand near her while she stuffed her cheeks

this is a really late reaction, but your hamster might be territorial. what might help is taking him out with maybe a tea cup, and just go away from the cage and then try it again.

sock I'm not erinsanimals, but I think I can help My Hamster did the same thing. Try placing your hand lower and make your wrist go upwards, my Hamster immediately saw the treats and ran to them, I know im late lol... Erin's animals has a video on how to stop hamster biting... At least I think she does. You can check that out and I hope I helped!

Lol I ignored this so hard 😂 3 days ago I bought a new hamster (I already had a russian dwarf) and from the first day I started to give him food from my hand and on the second day I started petting him and lifting him up and now, the 3th day he is tame 😂😂😂

Emily Is awsome ugh. IN THE VIDEO SHE SAID BE PATIENT! were you even listening?! I can already tell your gonna be a hella bad hamster owner. I don't have a hamster my self, but I know a lot of things about them, and one thing you have to do, be patient. Well, I gotta go, fixing other dumbasses brains like yours. Thanks.

@SomethingAnimal 8 лет назад

Bounlavane napaseurt What "claw thingy"?

@chasedbyvvolves9256 8 лет назад

+ErinsAnimals reaching in from above, it freaks most hams out because it's similar to getting picked up by a bird.

@SomethingAnimal 8 лет назад

Sleepy Puppy I know this, it's mentioned in many of my videos that you should always approach a hamster in a position they can see you

@avamcdonnelll4483 7 лет назад

Hey Erin! Thanks for the tips! I have two hamsters, Bambi and Thumper. Thumper is very confident and was very easy to tame but Bambi is very hard to tame and hates being picked up, help?

I'm getting a Syrian hamster on the 25th of august I'm literally so exited! I had lots of Syrians before but haven't had one in a few years. I'm pretty nervous about biting ... hopefully the hamster I pick has a calm personality!

@venassamae6397 8 лет назад

I just got a female Syrian today. She is very bold and curious, and she looks so squishy and soft! I want to hold her so badly but I am waiting a couple days for her to settle in without being bothered. Then I'll begin her taming process. This video will help me out tremendously; so thank you Erin! I would have a plentiful stock of treats, but while I was out shopping my dog pulled a few bags off the shelf and ate them -.-

@elise3364 7 лет назад

hi erin! so i got my hamster 4 days ago and i'm going to tame him when i'm get home! what if i give it food but then bites my finger instead? i was moving his hideout and just bit me randomly

@croonborgac1209 7 лет назад

What kind of sun flower seeds do u use is it okay to use the David sunflower seeds that u buy at the store?

@Toasteroven122 2 года назад

Thank you so much my hamster was ok with step 1 and 3 from the start but he wouldn't go on my hand or let anyone pick him up or use something the pick him up but now he will go on my hand to get a treat he still won't let anyone pick him up but im trying my best to be as patient as i can and he seems happy as he is eating a lot of treats whilst being trained

@jiggs-lw9te 8 лет назад

Hi I noticed the tubing you used in the cage. what is it? and do you know the diameter.?

@Corgun 6 лет назад

Oh dear. I've done skipped part 1 and went straight to step 2 by putting treats on my open palm and waiting for my winters to climb on and take it. It works, and they rarely bite, but I'm wondering if that'll be a problem later?

How do I clean my new hamsters cage if it may take more than two weeks for me to pick him up? Would I be able to lift him in a tube and put him in his playpen or is there something else i should do?

@stinaf412 7 лет назад

+Erinsanimals Im Really sorry the ask.fm didnt work so i was wondering if i could just slowly start to practice picking my hamster up with my hands (at the Pet Shop where i got him they Handled him) because there is no Space for a tube to fit in his Tank because he has made a ginormous Nest in the middle of his tank. He takes Treat Form my hands already
