HOW DO I STOP MY FEMALE HAMSTER FROM BITING ME
Answers:
Hamsters can be territorial of their cages, females sometimes more then males. She's very scared of you as well. She needs reassuring from you with a gentle voice and time. Attempting to hold her is one of the best ways she will become used to you. This can be done by removing her with your hand or by using a toilet paper roll or food dish to remove her. Once she's out of her cage she may not be as territorial, but may still be scared. Hold her over a soft surface so if she jumps or bites and you let go, she lands on the soft surface. Over a bed, a blanket, or folded towel will do for this. Falling from just a few feet onto a hard surface can injure her severely. You will need to work with her daily and several times a day. Another thing to do is to offer her treats before you try to pick her up. One more secret is to let her fill her cheeck pouches with food, then once she's stuffed them pick her up. She shouldn't be able to bite with her cheeks stuffed. We tamed some of ours this way and it did work. We have used all the above ways to tame many Syrian and dwarf hamsters. We are in the process of taming a rescue (female Syrian) who's simply scared right now with her new surroundings, smells, and sounds. Try the different ways and see if she responds to any. This can take a few days or even a few weeks to tame her. We had one that took about 2 months to tame, but she had to overcome her fear of being dropped. She was dropped by a young chid who was unsupervised in a pet store causing head trauma to her. We took her home and my oldest son worked with her, now she's a wonderful pet, she spooks easily though.
