hey guys it's me and today's video is
going to be talking about how to stop your hamster from biting so the first
thing is you need to recognize why your hamster has bitten you is your hamster
new and have you tamed to them yet unlike dogs and cats when you get your
hamster you are going to tame them to become use to human interaction so it is
really common for your hamster to bite you if they are new and they just
haven't been tamed yet because they are quite scared I do have a video on how to
tame your hamster and I will leave that linked somewhere on the screen and in
the description bar does your hamster only bite it when you put your hands in
the cage if so this means your hamster is cage territorial and you can solve
this by upgrading the cage because most of the time a hamster who is cage
territorial has a quite of a small cage did you just eat if so your hamster
probably just confused you with a snack hamsters have a really really good sense
of smell but a really poor sense of vision so if they do bite you because
you've just eaten it's probably your fault so to prevent that just try
washing your hands before you handle your hamster did you just wake your
hamster up or did you scare them hamsters are nocturnal / crepuscular so
if you did wake them up they may be grumpy if you have scared your hamster
biting is your hamsters way of defending themselves so to prevent scaring your
hamster try talking quietly around your hamster and have slow movements around
your hamster so if your hamster still bites after all of that continue with
the taming process you can use gloves such as mittens to get your hamster used
to the feeling of being lifted up because sometimes hamsters get really
scared and they don't understand why they're being picked up so wearing
gloves can help you prevent getting yourself bitten and it can help your
hamster get used to the feeling of being lifted up use treats as rewards if a
hamster realizes that when it doesn't bite you it gets a treat it most likely
won't bite you once your hamster realizes you aren't a threat they should
stop biting please remember that hamsters are prey
animals so they are naturally just really scared
and can be really timid another tip to prevent yourself from getting bitten is
that when you go to let your hamster's nephew or pet them try using the back of
your hand or a knuckle this just prevents them from being able to bite
you too badly because your back of the hand is really flat and smooth so
there's nothing really to grab lastly just be patient with your hamster
sometimes it can take weeks or months to tame your hamster just to get them to
stop biting so yeah guys I hope this video has helped anybody who has a
biting hamster don't give up you can eventually get your hamster to be a
loveable fun hamster so yeah guys thank you for watching bye
