How to Tame your Dwarf Hamster 

My hamster fell asleep on my pillow and I forgot her and left her in my room I came back and she was still sleep while I was like bro how

ur hamster is so calm! mine is amazing and loves being held, but when she is held she’s like ‘ 🏃‍♀️🕺🏃‍♀️🕺🏃‍♀️’

I've had 2 dwarfs but both of them would always try to commit suicide when I was holding them, yeeting away in the air with nothing to land on🙃

I already have My dwarf hamster for 2 years And it still tries to murder me...

The hamsters are so cute

i got my hamster yesterday, shes a dark grey russian dwarf and is the most calm hamster ive ever seen. she hasnt bitten me yet and has no problem being picked up

I’ve had my hamster for almost two weeks. She lets me handle her, but only if I wear gloves. It’s funny though. If she sees my bare hand she ignores it but she loves my gloves 😂

When I bought my hamster I just waited for a bit and she came and started cleaning herself in my hand. A year later she's my little furbaby, super tame and never bitten me. She seems to enjoy being with humans and running around on the coffee table and sofa ❤❤

My dwarf winter white is SOOO hyper and yours is so calm

My hamster had a horrible last owner and she used to be scared all the time 🥺 after a few weeks she started to come out when I called her name she then started to climb into my hand 😊 I learnt a lot from this video thank you

I work at a pet store and we got a black russian dwarf in and he was the only one out of the dwarf hamsters that would let me pick him up and I immediately fell in love and just got him today! hes so calm but active and seems to love to be held !

My hamster acts dead when he gets scared

my hamster is super tame but never sits still in my hand like that, he’s hyperactive 😭

I'm so jealous, I've got two gird and I'd love this kind of relationship, well done you x

this helped so much thank you. i’ve had my hamster for 4 days now, and i’ve been trying to get her to like me. i just started trying everything you said and it’s helping! she isn’t fully tamed obviously, but thank you so much! this is working so well so far.

I just got a chinese dwarf today. He seems kinda tame, let me pet him and hasn't bitten me. He doesn't like being held (it is the first day) so I'm looking up these videos. Thus far you've gone into the most detail, thank you! :)

My hamster thinks my fingers are made of candy.🙄

I’m getting my winter white dwarf tomorrow and I can’t waittttt I convinced my parents with a slide presentation >:D

thank you so much! this helped me my with my dwarf hamster. he was scared to crawl on my hand at first but after awhile he got used to me and crawled on my hand! it was so cute! thanks again for the help and advice :)

That glass trick is gold worth, works everytime, thank you very much has helped me a lot.

I have a dwarf hamster I’m trying to train him this helped a lot!

My hamster jest tries to bite my fingersoff when i try to give him treats.

My hamster is also a dwarf and he’s so cute and tiny he loves to be held and he gives me kisses every day he’s the best hamster ever and I love him so much like if you love your hamster :3

The glass was such a great idea. I appreciate this video.

I’m getting a dwarf hamster soon and this helped a lot thanks 😊

This helped me a lot because im getting a dwarf hamster so thank you:D

This video is very helpful thank you so much for sharing! I bought my nearly 8 year old daughter 2 Russian Dwarf hamsters thus week. She has called them 'Sugar & Spice'. Sugar is very timid, gentle and shy but is starting to show a very ladylike personality. Spice is definitely fluffier! She seems like she may enjoy being held and interacts much more with us at the side of the cage. My daughter is autistic and struggles very much with regulating her emotions and has various sensory overload but we've already a big difference in her character. She seems much calmer for sure. She's eager to get handling the hamsters but I'm building that up slowly with her. We put together a playpen and she sat in the middle of it. She sat so still and let Sugar & Spice run around her and climb up on her legs etc. I've never seen her keep focused for so long! We have so much to learn. I'm worrying that the bigger hamster might be a boy as it's bigger, fatter and fluffier. I know it's difficult to know for sure but what are the tell tale signs of them being opposite sex? Sugar lays on her back sometimes when they are huddled up together. They both seem friendly and not showing signs of aggression. x

Jeez louise those hamsters are adorable. Also great advie!!!

Lmao. My dwarf hamsters is like "nah bruh... I'm good. Thanks for the food though."

Tysm ik this is 3 years ago and everything but this has helped me bond with my first ever hamster so much!

I got a Russian Hamster today.Im not allowed to handle it till Sunday because it is stressed.Its name is Ham and it’s 8 weeks old.My sister got a hamster and named it Oreo.My hamster has red eyes.It is not medical conditions though and Oreo has brown eyes.They both have white fur but Oreo has a tiny bit of brown fur on his back.They are in their cage right now.Got them from pets at home and spoilt them rotten with food,toys,straw and chewing things.Please with Ham and Oreo a long happy life. They are my first hamsters

My hamster keeps running on my hand and trying to jump out of my hand 😂 it’s like it would rather hurt itself then be on my hand

Hi thank you for publishing this video and sharing these tips! Btw I love the look of your hamster!

Your hamster is a beauty!! I've had dwarf hamsters but never knew how to hand tame them. I've only had 2 hand tamed hamsters so far because they were syrian hamsters & they let me hand tame them. The other hamsters I have had didn't, though one of them who I think was a dwarf hamster allowed me to hand her treats by hand. But I didn't know how to hand tame without getting bitten by her & making her stressed out. Thank you for explaining it! I'm hoping to get another new hamster soon & I'll get a dwarf hamster. This video will come in handy then too.

Thanx so much fot the help. Cooper is becoming more tame.

I just got a hampster for Christmas I have been wanting one for a long time this is very helpful thank you!

My hamster Lilo still nibbles on my finger from time to time, but when it comes to food she’s all happy ofcourse 😂

I bought a russian dwarf hamster yesterday and gave it time to settle in. Its surprising how active he was at night cuz I could barely sleep. I didnt really need to go in with any caution because I held some sunflower seeds and he came and ate them right from my hand. As it becomes more tame I can't wait to see how life unrolls for the little creature

Thank you! I got my Dwarf hamsters A day ago! I have not had a hamster in 7 years, I decided to get 2! Due to missing those kinds of small pets. I named the Energetic one Azura and the sleepy one Aphrodite. They’re really jumpy and bite 24/7, i hope your tips help :) I would love to be able to hold them. I know they aren’t used to being held.

Thanks for the tips

Really helped me

Just got a new baby boy Russian dwarf two days back, I put my hand inside the cage and left it there to Try get him used to me, thanks for this video

Tysm!! This video helped me improve :) Looking back at what i done I woudnt like it if i was the hamster >O

Thanks for the glass tip!

I just got my two roborovski dwarf hamsters. I was getting one and calling him Bob Ross, turns out there were two and i didn;t want to seperate them cause they were snuggling, and so I got both and named one Bob and one Ross. They're asleep snuggle in a little hide right now Its so cute

I like my dwarf hamster just walking and exploring around me or on my body

I plan on getting a dwarf hamster, and am watching many videos about them, and there basic care.

Hi love your vids

Oh my goodness, your hamster is so sweet and so adorable. I had a Roborovski that was tame like yours. He was so sweet. He spun in circles a lot, I think that was just how he was born, but he was super sweet and let me hold him, and he would wait at the front of cage to take treats. He passed a few years back. I miss him! Currently, I have two Russian dwarf females, possibly hybrids? I have one that is spotted with grey spots and the other looks like yours with the stripe down back with a light grey and white coloring. They are supposedly from the same litter according to the employee my boyfriend talked to. They seem very lively and outgoing when watching them and when I approach the aquarium to look at them, but one is extremely nippy. I tried to tame and was nipped hard on my finger, but I realized that after further reading the Russian dwarf can be very territorial over their space, and I had used the ball to transport her out, and the ball had been open and in her aquarium for a few days so they could get used to it. Thus, she probably got defensive since it smelled like her home. I’ve had the two of them for roughly 3 weeks and I want to start taming, but a bit scared to handle, maybe I’ll use gloves and bathtub taming. I have raised a lot of robo hamsters, and never had this issue, but I am new to Russian dwarfs. I feed them seed mix and dried meal worms and they live in a large aquarium that has more length than height. They have plenty of toys and a variety of wood chews. They do have some scuffles sometimes, and I saw the one that had bit me was cornered by the other one, and it occurred to me that may be the reason for her aggression. She may just feel defensive because of her feeling bullied. I’m still working on getting another wheel, although they’d share sometimes, but now the other one is starting to bully her away from running on the wheel.

Awwwwww little cutie!!!

I have 2 grey and white hamsters today we should be able to pick them up I'm excited

Lovely.

Today I just got my hamster she’s so wild and Energetic not yet to tame her since she’s gonna settle in for a few days but very soon I will work up on taming her.

this makes me miss my baby :( he was always so calm

your hamster loves u sm so sweet she’s snuggling her mama

I came for the hamster and stayed for your beauty lol .

You hamster is adorable

your hamster is so tame

My hamster climbs around the roof of his cage but in your hand is super chill

I just got a dwarf yesterday from someone who has had him for over a year. I’m really experienced with animals but this is only my second hamster since childhood. He’s very outgoing and will come right up to you in the cage and he lets you pick him up and keep him moving but the moment he’s not doing anytning or the moment our fingers are in reach he will nibble at them and won’t stop it’s like he’s pulling on it and he only does it to fingers. He will walk onto our hands, take treats from us and eat in our hands but he won’t stop nibbling he has even broken skin from excessive nibbling in an area. (I say nibbling because I have been bitten by a hamster before like teeth all the way sunken in my skin and this is not that at all)we make sure our hands are clean always and we never lift him higher then his enclosures height.

Love your voice

I have 2 robo hamsters, and one of them loves climbing onto my shoulder. 😂

Don’t worry about them biting you it doesn’t really hurt much just a bit of a punch

I have had my baby for a couple weeks and she loves me I love her too

I rehoused dwarf hamster from my local pet store once. Dave was his name. His notes stated he was vicious. I was handling him by day 2. He was such a character. He would happy lie on his back in my hand while nibbling on treats. It’s interesting you use as glass. I would never pick Dave up directly from his cage. That was his territory. He would sit on his seesaw while I picked that up out of the cage. Then he was totally relaxed when I handled him.

What a lovely

My hamster (he’s a dwarf) let me handle him today and was very calm and kind about it ^^
