  • my hamster's crazy! she keeps squeaking when i try to pick her up and then she bite me :(

  • I'm alreayd lost on part one. she bites me

  • i have had a hasmter for 3 months now , he is fine with my playing with him and picking him up , he will sit in my hand for a few seconds then jump straight off :/

  • Snooki trusts me already but when I pick her up she runs like a deer I just got her 2 nights ago shes doing pretty good so far though.

  • btw peeps most dwarf hamsters are naturaly tame so itll take a week at the most to tame it to going on ur hand freely....probally

  • i got 2 ndd when i was graving one the other one bit my hand from the back :'(

  • i just got mine and he bites alot

  • Yes, thank you! Day 3 today, and he's already used to me :-)

  • thumbs up if you had hamsters on your house

  • Eh eh eh eh eh eh eh eh, eh eh eh eh ehe eh, eh eh eh eh and then another eh eh eh eh eh!

  • omg i have teh same penguin pajamas as you :P

  • my hammy is a dwarf campbell hamster,it's new,so how the fuck should I let it sniff my finger!

  • lol i think ur to fast my hammy just pooped

    when i quickly put my hand near

  • Most ppl said Syrians are easy to tame but not dwarfs, However in my case, it was the opposite instead. My lil' dwarf likes me and willingly climbs onto my palm, sometimes even without any food on it! But my syrian always tries to run away from me but thankfully he's not a biter so it was okay... :) Both of them are sweethearts!

  • does this work if i alredy have had it in like 4 munths.

    Sorry for the bad spelling.

  • my hamster is just like yours but it bites me alot

  • I got a hamster last week and I started with petting her softly since day one, then on day 4 I would put a treat on my hand and she would climb on it to eat it. From the on I've been holding her every day and she seems fine with it. Just remember to be patient and that all hammys are different. She never bit me, I guess it's because you have to let them get used to your smell and voice first. Try siging to them the first few days, it'll help them get familiar with you :).

  • Here is a little advice. Give it a day or two before attempting to handle (I handled my first hamster on the day I got it). Then you have to be firm but not rough. It may be scared and try to run away but just pick it up anyway (don't be scared). Cup your hands around it and then it will get calmer ! :)

  • my hamster bites me i cant pick it up i have to get him in the tolit paper tube and them let him crawl on my hand and iam very sad me and him dont have a nice relationship as friends

  • heyy can u help me cuz my hampster dont take to anyone and it is impossible to tame i tried everything and it dont work

  • @tiegan23well we have tried handling it since day1 and it is just evil and we cant do anything bout it

  • Wait what ... i have two dwarfs and all u have to do is pick them up (they wont bite).

    and one siryain and that one is mutch harder to tame.

  • i just got a dwarf but it is very vicious! i got him about three days ago so im gonna take him back and get a syrian

  • @MrBbgunman you do know if u take it back they will have to kill it.

  • @BeHappy545 They don't kill it they just put it back in the cage

  • id like to see all those people try to tame a hamster that they just purchased. -__-

  • @ainerain yea alot of people make videos of hamster that are already tamed and not recently bought D:

  • @ainerain I had one I didn't even really have to tame. I held her in my hands the first time in the petstore, no negativity. Took her home and still everyday of handling nothing bad. :)

  • mine bites

  • @appleslic mine dose too :(

  • i love your hammy tho :D

  • i just got my dwarf hamster and i took him with a jacket with one hand and with the other one i kind of massage him he really liked that.. he was scared btw lol... then after 5 hours of doing that he ate treats in my hand and he even came to my hand..

    sometimes he hurted me but with the nails she has big nails..im gonna cut them tomorrow.. btw.. before got the hamster i watched videos for 2 days complete and used wikipedia.. knew all about them so.. idk :D XD

  • first time I picked up my hamster it went on my neck and bit it twice HARD

  • @blochy100 r u ok???

  • Was your hamster already tamed in this video?

  • I loved the cage my friend has one btw the hamster was cute

  • I really need help. (I am forced to wear gloves because of this) I have a awhite long haird syrian boy at about 8 weeks. I have my hands out, he calmly walks around on them for a bit then randomly tries burrowing into my hands. then he gets frustrated and starts biting the shit out of me... HELP I OWN A TERROR

  • @GmodGuy757 okay.....whenever he starts to burrowing in your hand,just put him back in his cage....then after a few minutes, get him back out again. and if he does it again, just repeat. hope this works! plz reply and tell me if it does!

  • @GmodGuy757 Try putting the hamster in a bowl of food so that its cheeks are filled. Give it something to nibble on while you hold it so that it can't bite you. Make sure you're also wearing NO RINGS. Make sure your hands are also soft. If they feel calluses, they will bite it thinking it's something for them to nibble on.

  • @Jade161588 Yay, it's okay! He only nibbles me if he feels that he is restricted.

  • @GmodGuy757 Well first of all ------FEED HIM EVERY OTHER DAY ATLEAST! thats waht i have to say Make sure u feed him reqularly ok? Maybe he is tired or hungry

  • Comment removed

  • @4evercavy oh

  • @4evercavy ohh why not?

  • @4evercavy you should! :) i got mine two days ago!

  • my hampster can run very fastand is very hard to handlewhatdi i do

  • @tiegan231 it depends; how long have you had it?

  • pease reply i'm scared the hamster will bite cause whatever the hamster never see he is going to bite me can you please tell me please

  • @789silla It will hurt for about like 30 ms wich isnt long it will just bleed then the pain is gone Right after you get bit Ive been bitten before I know what its like XD if you dont feel safe with him you have to treat him everyonce in a while and he will be liek " Ooo this person is giving me food I should be good to get more of these treats" And he will get used to you and he will become tame.

  • @789silla Hold the treat between your index(pointing) finger and your thumb as if you are pinching it, that should work. And dont be afraid of a small hamster bite, they usually feel like a small nibble, you'll be fine! :D

  • @CherrySodaCola My hamster is SUPER hyper, she won't even let me touch her. She is a roborovski in case you are curious PLEASE REPLY :D

  • @erietigers91 Start off by placing your hand in the cage WITHOUT attempting to pick her up or doing anything to her, let her sniff your hands, let her get used to you, try hand feeding her! Hope this helps!

  • OMG im gonna be getting a hamster and this is probably gonna help me! ;D ;]

  • your dwarf is so nice im trying these steps right now... back it didnt work. is brocoli a good enough treat? i have mineral blocks and a chew house but she doesnt like me holding her

  • Hi! if anyone needs a full step-to-step easy guide on how to tame ANY hamster, check out my video! more tutorials and videos coming soon though. your hamsters are cute too!

  • Comment removed

  • i cant even touch my hamster with gloves its biting all the time i have it for like 4 days now but i am really terrified

  • @wa215 same here dont wear gloves they thinks its food

  • Where do you get treats from? MY local pet shop doesn't have any.

  • I had a plain cage made of full plastic but it escaped very fast so I sugest getting one like that.

  • I saw those cages at petsmart, are they better then the regular ones?

  • @SurviveDawn My neighbor has guinea pigs and they have one of those,too, but they only use it for playing. Otherwise, they put them in a regular cage.

  • I saw those cages at petsmart, are they better then the regular ones?

  • i got my hamster yesterday and tamed him today, i let him out his cage into his playpen and then into his ball and when i took him out of his ball it was onto my hand but i let him walk onto it by himself and hes perfectly ok with being held, oh i forgot to mention before this i gave his some carrot and some hamster loops.

  • hey i just got a hamster yesterday and i have no idea what to do and how to get it to no me

  • i cant hold my siryan now!!!!!!!

    woooooo i let her get used to me for a week and even when she was scared i just got her and held her for a bit like a min and put her bk and kept doing tht it works it also helps if you give them their fave treat while theyre in your hands btw im gunna do a vid too if yall wanna see it on how to hold a sryan :D

  • its soooo cuuuuteiie!!

  • omg that looks like my hamster, can you

    help me... MAN my hamster looks like urs

    but it surly doesnt act like mine. mine wont stop biting and i try every thing. i dont wana trade him in 4 a new one, but i cant take it anymore.

  • what i did was before i held Cupcake(my dwarf)I put some sanitizer on.Then i would rub my hands on my pants.I would then take out Cupcake with something like a tube,and place her on my lap. I would let her run around and when she tried 2 walk off,I would put my hand there.Then i held her in my hands and ever since,she has been fine.This works really well in a play pen in case the hamster jumps or something.Check out my channel for an awesome homemade playpen.I will upload vids all the time

  • when u go to pick him up let him come to u instead of picking him up also never put your hands into his cage coz thats like his private space then he shouldn't bite

  • i have a robo hamster too its a boy and its name is blue but it keeps on running away sence robo hamsters are hella fast but what worked for me is i rubbed the flooring on my hands and let him smell me then he got use to me and got on my hand

  • your hamster is so super cute! but is that playpen its cage? dude if that is ... its dumb , you need a good cage for a hamster , ( if it has a cage sorry)

  • thnx for the help! and your hamster looks so cute!!

  • i have two roborovski's named hazel and peanut. they dont like it when i try to pick them up, i kind of tamed peanut but hazel doesnt seem to want to cooperate. when i give her treats she bites my hand she doesnt seem to want to climb onto my hands, last week she even started hissing at me and i dont know what to do............should i try to tame them at the same time so she realises that im not a danger? or should i leave her alone and continue working with peanut until she is feeling happier?

  • @cherryblossom2100

    how long have you had the hamsters for?

    maybe you shuld carry on tameing peanut but so hazel can see and when she sees that her brother? is ok she might be ok with that but at the same time try to tame hazel

  • dwarfs are easy

    my siryan is so anoying she is terified of hands sometimes she takes treats from me but most of the time she runs away when i stroke her she ducks down she wont go near my hand to sniff it iv held her twice but she just riggles free it is so anoying i have only had her for 3 days thoubut normaly the hamsters iv had just let me hold them strait away well apart form my last 1 but she was a revoruski

  • yeah i know what u mean. i have a syrian hamster, and he doesnt like it when i toch him (ive had him for 2 months now) and my cousin has a dwarf hamster and he let me hold him before on the second day she had him. and people say dwarfs are harder to tame than syrians...

  • hi mate have u got a treate in youre hand to get his atenchen or somthink in ur hand

  • thanx for the video...

    your hamster is cute! =D

  • Good video and helpful info. I 've also found that by letting them hear your voice regularly they seem to respond to it too.

  • to devastator rules

    my hamster did the same!

    what i did was where gloves.

    it works!

    becaause your hamster will get sick of biting you if you dont care every time he or she does it.

  • Devastator cos he knows youre evil and want to eat him cos the donut store did not have those brown long johns you like so much. LMAO.

  • How come all of these videos make you put the hamster in your hand!! It still bites every time I try holding it!!! Is their an other way without having to use your hands for a while? Please help!

    P.S. I have a russian dwarf. He only bites me, whenever somebody else holds him he won't bite.

  • Hey, you seem to know a lot about taming hamsters. We just got a young black bear (syrian). Over the past week he grew more comfortable and was eating from our hands although he nipped a few times. Last night, I made a playpen area on the carpet, big enough for me to be in too. My hope was too slowly pet and interact with him (and not force the issue), but he got super scared and I had a hard time getting him back in the cage. How can I get him to and from a playpen without scaring him?

  • i have a hamster called Tiko.

    he's a russian dwarf hamster and i have an other hamster (a syrian) in the same cage. is that alright because everytime he walks around and see the other hamster she screams as hell! i don't know what to do :( and every time i try him to sniffle my hand he bites me but i can still stroke him idk wye :P please help me :)

    ps: srry for the long comment.

  • This is very helpful, mai sista got bitten by a hamster 'cuz she didnt hold it right

  • it was and my sister got bit by a hamster the other day for not holding it right

  • hey how can i tame my teddybear hamster?!

  • that was very helpful! ;)

    RIP Tom. You will be missed

  • It Looks like a little playroom for a hamster. My younger sister and brother have a massive one, that they mess up! Totally cute hammy! Nice vid.

  • my robo doesnt take food from my hand and i cant tame it properly without giving it treats what shall i do??plzz reply as soon as possible!!!

  • Oh man got the mean breed! If i want it to sniff me itll bite me its a Russian Dwatf Hamster.

  • I have always like my hamster by his back and will he bite me if i change the way i handle him

    Please Reply, Me and my hamster need you!

  • my hamsters to scared to notice the treats ... what do i do ???

  • my hamster keeps biting me and I had him for a month now! what should I do :(!

  • Well for one, do you handle them right after touching food? and what kind is it?

  • put 2-3 in of bedding :) its good for them put in something like sherded newspaper

  • that my hamster lol

  • it looks like my hamster 2 !

  • no. you dont let the hamster smell the hand you were holding the treats in. That only intises it to bite you. Not being mean just letting you know so other people don't think that is ok to do.

  • I'm gifted with my two boys, even right after I touch food they don't bite, well one does but he's old and gone senial after hsi accident

  • What's the name of the songs?

  • If your scared your hamster will bite just wear gloves. That's what i did, and occasionally take the gloves off. Now my hamster never bites at all xxx

  • mmthat's not the right way of taming hamsters. If the hamster is territorial,he will bite you..^^

    In roder to tame an hamster you just have to let him walk in a room,giving him food and leaving him free of exploring your body...doing that 20 minutes every day the hamster will nt be scared by you...And remember that an hamster walkning in a room doesn't bite.

  • Thank you so much. ^.^ I`m quite use to squirrels (that I raise and release after hurricanes) and it baffled me when I made this huge cage for two dwarfs and after letting them get use to it, giving them the occasional treats, and moving from gloves to hands one bit me for simply having my hand inside the cage. They never bit me when on my shoulder while I was on the computer or sketching with them on the bed.

  • what do you give him??

  • hi this video really helped and gve me the courage to do it but when i put my hand in for him to sniff my hand i and sceard if he bite me

    so right there from the start i didnt get through with the first step

    HELP OR ANY OTHER ADVICE WILL BE APPRICIATED

    I CAN POST A VIDEO NOW IF U WANT

  • i just got a dwarf hamster and he was very tame to whoever held him but my previous one was mean and i didnt do it right i was mean back =p

  • Great video :D

  • check out my response its amazing

    i didnt even have to tame my hamster

    shes bit me once but iv tought her not to bite me anymore

  • omg! how did you tame her like that and did the bite hurt ???

  • i was trying to let my hamster when we were at petco and she either bit me or i felt her teeth. it didn't really hurt.

  • my hammies run when they see the outline of my hand...

    lol

    also for some really strange reason (i didn't train it to do this!!) when she's on my hand she runs up my arm, onto my shoulders and underneath my hair......she stays there for hours and even climbs to the top of my head....

    lol

  • i can hold my hamster but she just tries to get out of my hands and she never ever just stays still while i hold her

  • My hamster does not want the treats and he wont sniff my hand.

  • whats the music at the end?

  • sounds like crazy frog

  • should i buy a haster at early age? so it is easy to tame?

  • lool they oly lie for 2 years

  • small hamsters get really scared and jumpy so expect some biting

    is you buy a baby hammie

  • omg i have those same pajama pants.freaky

  • what is a decent treat cuz my dwarf wont eat anything i give it except for her seeds i even tried fruit loops which my other hamsters die over

  • Mine eat fruit peices or carrots.

  • I actually just got a robo today. It is the first hampster I've ever owned. He seems to be adjusting to his cage and I've managed to put him in the plastic ball and he actually ran around in it for a little while. I had my husband do it because I was nervous but I want to tame him. I'm kinda scared though. I don't have treats yet..well I bought cabbage, could I use that? Help!

  • my hamsters a baby and he really dosent know what a carrot is so what treat should i give him????

  • I have the grey/whitish hamsters ( dot know what its called) but everytime y hand gets close toit it runes away very quickly .. =( any tips =(

  • just sort of corner it but not all the way and let it sniff ur hand

  • but my hamster just will get nervous everytime i hold it. it is 1year old already!!!! i think its not my problem , its maybe they fought.

  • Zwerghamster ?

  • yeah but yours is obviously tame already, if i try to give mine a treat he just runes away and starts going yip yipy ip which means hes scared.

  • 1:56 too the end is soooo cute!! and cute hamster + im getting 3 hammies and ty for the sessions xxxxxxxxxxxx

  • wow so cute so is my fatt hamster haha...anyway i cant seem to tell if my syrian is a male or female

  • lol

  • nice vid love the music

  • also you should NEVER feed your hamster lettuce. lettuce causes them to get a disease called wet tail. you will know if they have wet tail if you see them less active, gooey ozzy suff, blood, or diahrria on their bottom. allthough it can be treated. GREAT VIDEO! :)

  • R.I.P Tom. :(

    soz 2 hear bout ur hammy.

  • guys i didn't know hamsters bite LOL

    my hamster only bites his bars.

  • that's really bad, it can cause brain damage or broken ingrown teeth if they bite the bars. BUY IT CHEW TOYS

  • hi, i have a hamster bout 2 years old and he (gus) isn't very social at all, he will bite you once you put your hand near him, and im scared to do this again cuz i already had a hamster die of stress oonce, and im scared the same could happen to this hamster? do you have any techniques to tame him or is it to late since he is alerady 2?

  • hey! that seems like a RLLY good video, but my dwarf hamster is already 1 yr old, and she STILL bites me like crazy!!! when she was younger she didn't, but she suddenly got into this biting phase. it started a couple months ago, but i don't know what 2 do... do u hav ny tips?

  • let it bite you, but don't freak out. leave your hand in the cage so she knows that she isn't boss. and then do the steps this video tells you.

    should be easy.

    hoped this helped!

  • ive tried to pick up my hamster and shes brand new, but i think ive pushed it her too much and she leaped out of my hands and bit me and peed on me.

    it just all went wrong.

    If i tried again a week or two later, do you think she will start to get used to me?

  • wow thanx a lot my hamster & I are best friends now

  • im scared when it sniff me coz it made me bleed a few times and not im scared with it....

  • thanks it worked he dose not run away when i try to give him a treat

  • i can get it to come in my hand but if i touch her back she will flip out its kinda scary i have 2 of them wiggles and reeses there both girls and i cant seem to figure them out pllllzz give me some advice and 1 plzz!

  • cool vid can u do one on cleaning a hamster cage plz

    thanx

    ps

    ur hamster is so cute!!!

  • i wouldnt reccomend with really small children. NOT YOU but smaller kids like at age 5 they can easily squish them or hurt them, for example, My friends cousin when he was 5 he put the hamster in a sock and swung it around of course it died. :(

  • the only problem is my hamster doesn't ever want the treats. I've tried yogurt drop or fresh carrots, strawberry, banana chips. nothing. but I can pick him up and handle him. He licks me. sometimes he is too hyper.

  • Hey, i've just got a russian dwarf hamster, I really wanna tame him so i can pet him a bit. I've had him three days so i'm just leaving him to get used to his surroundings, occasionally when he wakes up i put my hand in the cage to let him sniff it to see i'm not going to hurt him.

    Also, could you let me know how long it usually takes to tame them, he doesn't seem aggressive and hasn't bitten me. What sort of things should i him as a treat, is there anything they go mad for?

    Thanks

  • ty for the video, i will try and get my new hamster to be tamed (completely grey called Lemi) and btw you have a gorgeous hamster x

  • my hasmter pasted away to days agon :(( his name was sammy BUT i got A new baby hamster ( no name yet) hes relly hyhper and loves to spin in his whell or his ball

  • Thanks,this video helps.I just got my Dwarf Hamster,Charlie.He already bit me once,but I understand.I just keep my hand in his cage and let him know I won't hurt him.Thanks again!

  • is your hamster a syrian? mine is and are they easyer to tame?

  • i had my hamster just 3days ago from my friend. i adopted it cause he had too many. its a male and i named it Zix. he bit me when i first handled him. as the saying, "once bitten twice shy" true enuff, i have fear in handling. how do i overcome this? someone please help me? reply me, comment on my page, message me or whatever. i need help.

  • My 2 robo never bit me even though I handled them too much on their first day even without treats. They're the cutest things ever. Question- My hamster is about 10cm when he is slightly stretched,(when he walks) How old is he? the pet store said they didn't know their age but now I think that they are not telling me because they're old.

  • my hamster keeps biting me when it sniffs my hand or i try to pick him up i've had him for 2 months and never even touched him what do i do respond on my video

  • wash your hand before touching him. be gentle. dun chase it everywhere... try to look at it like u are playing with a kid. do not be afraid to get bitten. a small bite won't kill you unless if it carries diseases. keep its cage clean and talk to him... keep having interaction with it. let him get to know you. ^_^ call his name often, so that he knows his name.

  • thx, i just got a hamster 2day and i' ve been watching a bunch o' videos :)

  • That was amazing! After it went on your hand and you lowered it, the hamster didn't want to get off or go back down, it wanted to stay on your hand by ignoring the floor and climbing up your wrist! That is really sweet ^^
