Oh it is because because he's scared he wouldn't bite you if he wasn't scared so try leaving them alone for a little while and maybe just maybe he'll stop biting you look up videos for a hamster to stop biting you
My daughter's hamster pearl does the same thing. I wish hamsters could live longer lives pearl is almost 2 and I heard they don't live beyond 3 years old. My daughter will be devastated when she passes.
My hamster is a winter white and when I tried giving it a treat from a good distance she screamed at me. :( Edit: update! She eats from my hand now and likes to get on my hand
"How To Let Your Hamster Know That You Are The Boss?" That word really made my day XD me: hey hamster obey me, i'm your boss, i'm your master, i make the rule here...
Remember guys when you first bring your hamster home do not interact with it for 2-3 days or more so they get used to your scent around and their cage you could also read a book to ur hamster in a calm and gentle voice so they get used to ur voice! then you could start taming your hamster! But all hamsters are different so it may take some weeks/months to tame them! So never give up and neglect it!
Try giving her a nut or something to eat and then shove your thumb under her belly and then flip her over. Keep your thumb there if your hamster is now eating on her back. That’s what I did with mine and it worked well
My friend's one just took some time with some treats for a few days then moving on to petting it in the cage then moving on the going onto the palm for a few seconds and eventually those seconds became 30 seconds and then even a minute but bc its robo it just likes to RUN so the the loop thingy when you put one hand infront of the other
I noticed that too. One time I cried in front of the hamster cage, and was surprised to see my hamster leaned in closer to me with a concerned look. Never seen that look on him before. Hamster may be small, but they have big hearts.
What if the hamster bites everytime I tried to adapt it with my scent? I wash my hands everytime before I tried to adapt mine but he kept on biting like my hands are food ;-;
the method I used (starting from 1:11 in the video) was to gently flip the hamster over to show that you are more superior than it so it will obey you. I got this information from many of the Chinese websites. They say that during hamster fights, when a hamster bites on the other's tummy, it wins and becomes the leader. So make sure that it knows who's the boss first :P! and if it bites you, GENTLY blow onto its nose. Normally it will freeze and look at you. After a few more times, it will realize that it is not a good behaviour to bite you! I tried it myself and it really works! Hope this method works on you as well! (sorry for the super long reply haha)
Let it bite you. I had a very active hamster and i was also scared to touch him for the first few days but then i was like "AGHHH... i need urrr loveeee y u dont loveee meee" and put my hand ontop of the substrate, he bit me, pull my finger, hang onto it relentlessly, but it doesnt hurt. There were times it stung but theres no wound or blood so i just let him bite until hes satisfied. Then suddenly, a few mins later. Were best buddies. I sorta miss the bites tho..it was so cute. Id say those few moments of tiny "pain" were worth it.
Omggg I can't even let my hamster on my hand in his cage. He will definitely bite my hand and when I put a treat on my palm, he would climb on my hand, but! He will bite even though I think that he is familiar with my scent ;-; and when I tried to pick him up like how u did, he attempted to bite my thumb! And if I were to give him food on my hand, he would just walk over it or stuff the food into his pouch! How liddat...
When it said "how to let your hamster know you're boss", all I could think of was that video of the cat and the guy was saying "you only exist because I allow it" 🤣
@@jadkassabaki5031 you give it a sunflower seed to chew on first, then you gently put your thumb under it’s belly and flip it. Remember to give it enough support and to put it back on its feet when it starts flopping. Do it once or twice daily, it’ll get used to it soon
Why won't my hamster eat on my hand? He eats the food if I give it to him from hand, but won't eat the food if he is on my hand. He always puts the food in his cheek pouches.
Mine kept sleeping on my hands, and on my lap, and he had this habit that as soon as I picked him up he just... Kinda melted there. Like layed down. And the licking. I know what you are talking about. But anyway, RIP my little buddy
Hello thanks for this it really helps because I'm trying to do it with my hamster, just curious how do I get him out of his cage because he'll bite me if I pick him up
You can use gloves for the first few days then when they stop biting you can do it without gloves. You can also get toilet paper and rub your hands on it so your sent can be on there then put it in there cage so they can get used to your sent, One more thing if you have a hamster ball or something you can put them in that so can get used to there surroundings and etc
did you film this during the night or day?? bc my hamster sleeps all day and wakes up at 9 or 10 pm but i do stay up pretty late so i can do either i was just wondering
omg u have greater advice than an educated pet owner I will try to tame my strain in this way because none of them are working no matter how much I try I think your new name is the hamster whisperer
Yeah dude I’m sure you have at least 10 minutes a day to play with your hampster. I’m sure your not that busy. Your description also talks about you playing Roblox😅
I have to tame my hamster but idk how??? like he takes food from my hands and everything but he doesnt walk into my hand at all lol. He lets me pet him with my finger sometimes but i still can't hold him. Ive had him for almost two months now. and tbh i havent worked with him to much on taming but now im off with school u bet im gonna be working with him on it. Im gonna get a pair of gloves to start just slide my hands under him when i feel he is ready because i dont want him to bite. He doesnt normally bite he usually just smells and hes accidentally biten before. And only one intentional bite before. But i love him and i wanna let him out of his tank and have him hangout with me and run around but i cant untill i can pick him up.
How do you know your hamster bonded with you? I mean, my hamster will gladly take food from my hand and will (and is rn) sleep on me. Is that a good sign? It doesn't like being picked up tho.
Whenever I give my hamster food she jumps up onto my fingers and either nips or bites them somewhere between the two. It feels like her teeth are scraping my fingers.
My hamster is tame, NEVER bites, and is super active, but whenever I try to pick him up, he runs and hides! I have had him for about 2 months, and he just won’t be calm with me. Someone halp
So throughout the beginning was he/she sniffing you or biting you, beacause my hamster has never really hit me it’s just the thumb that’s he’s tried to bite but never hard st all, and I get really scared when he does the sniffing thing cuz I don’t know if he’s trying to bite my or not
I got my hamster and he is 9 weeks old and he bit my finger and it bled so bad :( I felt really bad for him because he fell, how do I make him let me pick him up because I’ve tried everything :( and what vegetables are Suitable for him? Thanks if you reply
I've had my Syrian about a month now. I can get him to get on my hands with treats but then he jumps out of my hand as soon as I try to lift him off the ground. Any advise for stopping him from jumping
My hamster was bought as a support animal. (I have mental issues) And he's making progress! He wont let me pet him, but he'll eat out of my hand and nibble on my fingers, (he thinks there food), and I love him!
I thought my hamster was biting me and it didn't hurt at all but she was just licking me I guess. But then she really bit me and I started bleeding and I moved my hand away really fast and scared her so now she's kinda scared of me and now I'm scared because it stung a lot😔
