  • this is a dwarf hamster i have a syrian hamster

  • teach them how to do the hamster dance! :D

  • I recommend syrian/teddy bear hamsters instead of dwarf, because syrians like to be held and don't bite as much. Dwarf hamsters are not as kind, and jump out of your hands more often.

  • Orrrrrrr you could pet it gently first and then pick it up and hold it. That's how I do with my hamster. I always get her used to my hands because she jumps if I don't.

  • @123fungurl  It bites you because either he didn't like his cage and bites it. or because its scared but protecting itself.

  • Im scared that my hamster might bite me

  • @Rainbowlove19981 if he does it doesnt hurt it's just a little pinch and it stings for a minute and goes away its absoloutley painless

  • what bedding is best for hamsters?

  • what kind of hamster is that?

  • the best part of this vid is the quality of the video :D

  • you should never hold a hamster, that dont know you in that way! Hamster are quickly scared, sometimes they bite, because there are afraid. You should speak firstly with the hamster, give it some healthy food out of a hand, that is not moving! Maby the hamster trys so climb on you hand, then you can put your hand a bit up. When he is scared, down again. So a hamster will maby get good handling, but especially the little hamster types can sometimes never be open to humans. You should respect that

  • @dminter100 Eww rats are gross weird looking freaks of nature. Hamsters arnt as big and dont call other disgusting pests. Hamsters are cuter and more affectionate when trained

  • @majesty99ful if thats your definition of rats your a rat.

  • @dminter100 what a bad troll!

  • @dminter100 trololol. if u gonna say something bad about hampsters, then gtfo of hampster vids :)

  • your baisically saying we can hold a robo or chinese and they will be calm it is a little mental dont you think

  • i think that is a tamed or young hamster so they dont bite!!!!

  • Could ANYONE tell me how to make the hamster stop chewing at its cage bars, and actually chew at his wood things???

    Please anybody???

  • @SilverBellPros Try to buy some treats or toys to let the hamster have something to play with,maybe your hamster is bored........

  • @OneNOnlyCassie what happened to it!

  • @emmaheartz It feels like a little pintch

  • @dto02 I'm sorry to hear that.... try offering her treats and talking to her. My sister had a hamster just like that and it took a while to teach Spice that we weren't going to hurt her.

    We started by talking to her, then offering treats then letting her smell our fingers before handling her....she became less bitey after a while. Best of Luck to you, hope you give your hamster another chance.

  • nooooooooo fair my mom is so evil that she will not get me a roborovskii hamster, not for christmas, not for my birthday

    EVIL >(

  • snooki

    

  • chinese hamsters r not dwarfs

  • I have a robo dwarf hamster can i put it a a big hamster ball i have had her for exactly 15 days

  • I have A Robo hamster so this wasn't really any help, also I got my hamster from Petland and they let kids hold them with out anybody watching them so I think my hamster is scared of me also I want to return it 'cause it's no fun if all you can do is watch it and run in it's ball. Should I really runturn it I had it for 1 or 2 weeks.

  • @sierrathoune 1st of animals r not its and robos r not meant 2 be held

  • is it normal for my dwarf hamster to be a little shakey? because when i hole him he always tries to run out and he falls back into the cage...im scare he might break his leg someday... also when he is on my hand i feel him shaking i feel like he is still scared and not comfortable with me even though i pet him everyday for the last 5 months! pls help

  • The video should be titled "How To Hold Your Hamster".

  • animals are not its omfg!!!!!!!!

  • hand walkin older hamsters pisses them off cos they know they arent going any where

  • @koopa64z @TheSilverWolf8  nice 1 xD that hamster prob in heaven :(

  • @koopa64z What´s the difference between hand walking and running in a wheel which hamsters do a lot?

  • My gerbil doesn't likebeing held. She just climbs into my hand to escape from the cage and, when she sees she can't, she bites me! What should I do?

  • If you want to buy a hamster that most likely wont bite, get a winter white hamster~ (it has a stripe down its back & it's feet are furry, not the ones at :12 though, i think those are campbell's dwarves) Go to the pet store & ask the store clerk who works with the hamster which ones are nicer. My winter white hamster never bit me before, but he nibbles & licks my finger sometimes cause it smells like food, but it's doesn't hurt; it's just like when a dog nibbles.

  • my hamster bites me when i pick it up should i put him down than or just continue?

  • @7410jojo put him down for about an hour then try again. do repeatiidly until hes comfortable with you. happy hammy days ^_^

  • @7410jojo put him down if he bites you. If you continue, he's just going to bite you again. You could offer him some treats & then pet him while he is munching away. I have this treat that is pretty much like a block of seeds glued together with stuff & i let my hamster chomp on it while I pet him. It might help.

  • the only tim mine bites me is if hes sleeping, he mistakes my finger for food.

    he always lets me hold him and stares up at me when i speak with his paws clasped together :)

  • ok today its my hamsters first day so i wont realy pick him up he already bite me today plus it realy hurts when hamster bites and hold it? holding when your hamster feels safe,confable with you and make sure we're not talking about dwarf chinese female hamster cause they always bite ok?

  • you should rub the sawdust or whatever on your hands before holding your hamster. let it sniff your hands and it gets comfortable because of the familiar scent. i think this way it won't bite.

  • my name is ashley too

  • i bought a syberian hamster a week a go and he lets me hold him whenever i want since the begining

  • was at 0:40 a roborovski hamster

  • Lol when the chick was holding the hamster the other one in the cage was like "must get out.." ^_^

  • How do u stop hamsters fighting without separating cages?

  • Ergh... Don't start off by snatching your hamster out of his cage and holding it while it's squirming unless you want a missing finger. Or two. When you tame your hamster, try to do it in the evening when it's more active. Start off by letting your hamster sniff your hands, and getting used to your scent. Once your hamster starts getting comfortable with that you can place some food into your palm. Let your hamster eat from your hands. Later it'll sit in your hand. After, you can pick him up.

  • I have a hamtster and had two before... so i know how ( according to my experiences and hamsters ) they work:P If you dont know how your hamster ''works'' cuz all of them are individuals and feel comfortable with different ''holding'', try to notice how it feels most comfortable with. And to avoid beeing bitten, try to stay out of the territorium of the hamster's mouth. Around the chin...its very sensitive there. Otherwives you may experience a chock and a painful fingerfor some seconds:P hahah

  • @Bellaow try having 98 @ one time O_O

  • I've had quite a few 'regular' hamsters and a few days ago I got a dwarf hamster (looks like the one she picked up), adorable!! I'm pretty good with training them since I've had quite a few. My little guy's totally fine once you get him out of the cage, it's just getting him out he likes to bat and bite on your fingertips, lol. Little devils, soo cute though. :)

  • Thumbs up is expert village pet videos are terrible

  • @PokeL0v3r no one agrees wiyh you

  • Comment removed

  • my hamster is like a ninja I've had for over 5 months and he still flinches like he wants to kill me lol -.-

  • same here!!!!

    

  • same here!!!!

  • OMG thats my cage!! the green one is the first cage I first bought! except it was purple...

  • Finally my hamster dosent bite me anymore.Thnx for the tips.

  • pick it up. You have to at least hold them around 10 minutes or so at least everyday so they would be use to your scent and be hand trained.

  • He only let you hold him because he tought you were an over grown hamster

  • @TheSilverWolf8 yeah yur right.

  • your like a hamster :)

  • i gush out blood because of my hamsters

  • oh, I thought it was how to do circus tricks

  • My hamster BITES ME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    GRRRR . . . Everyone is just like

    'Ohh well all you gotta do is pick it up and you know'

    But when people really try it they get bitten !

    You can't just pick it. People think that it's so simple. But it's not.

  • I have a robo hamster named speedy and I tamed her purely on accident. she got out alot and so we needed to pick her up to catch her and every now and then I would stick my hand in and now I can hold her!

  • @jirdimaster nååå xD it is because hi is curiosity like when you touch and smell to things but he sniffs and bites things just dot little on his nose or blow on hi not to

    much day after day will he learn it

  • 00:59 so cute ! 

  • i got my hamster today he just jumps out hand and i dont know y and he he bites me and runs of when i try and pick it up

  • My hamster likesto jump but is now very quiet because I took him on my hand for some playing and he was in a day or 4 very social. :)

  • My hamsterbites my fingers lol... but it makes me bleed uncontroalably

  • I just got a hamster today for my birthday, but its acting really strange, it always has its eyes closed and moves around her cage like that, rarely opening her eyes, and she keeps doing a weird sound, like a broken microphone, and it wont stop trying to bite me, please help, what should i do? Its a golden hamster and its 4 months old, please help :(

  • @PhoenixWingsGuitar it might be the lighting in the room,it may not be use to that lighting or it might just be that it doesnt have enought nutrents

  • @PhoenixWingsGuitar usually a hamster gives out broken microphone sound when they are afraid. Your hamster probably is not use to getting handled by human yet. You might want to start slow, and handing food to your hamster daily, to gain some trust. They are pretty friendly actually. Good luck!

  • HOW DO YOU CUT A HAMSTERS NAILS/CLAWS/PAWS??

  • I just bought mine.

    The girl in the pet store said they don't bite T.T

  • Hamsters suck! get a gerbil!

  • @VitoStudiosXD yes gerbils are boss got one named sophia

  • i cant wait to get my new hamster.

  • like she said guys first hold them over the cage but,i highly recommend if the hamster bites you still need to hold him/her so tht she/he will get the pleasure use a soft pair of gloves tht you do not wear a lot and use those to hold him/her to train ur hamster not to bite start them out young like a baby let them grown until a certain age start holding them and then everything will be ok hamsters may seem mean but there not there the cutest lil things ever i love rodents

  • i had a hamster, once i was gonna pick him up he bit my finger then i quickly got my hand out of the cage and he didnt let go of it he only decided to let go of it when my hand was out so i accidently threw him down the stairs =X

    he didnt die tho =)

  • at 52 sec: No!!!! Timmy!!!!

  • hey i did this two days ago and it works. But i did it differently. IF YOU ARE SCARED TO HOLD THEM BECAUSE THEY BITE, then use socks for hands. after they get used to going to one pawn to another they will get use to it. My hamster was smart and wanted to find a different way than the everlasting pawn stairs lol. Then take your hand out of one sock and try it again. repeat the process. Now my Snoozer aint afraid of me =D

  • I love my hamster!!! ^w^

    Whenever I (slowly) put my hand in her cage she runs towards it sniffing then rubbing against it. Owo she only bites me when i stick my fingers through the cage wires though ^o^;

  • i got a hamster today :) how long will it be where it trusts me enough where i can pick it up

  • why before they didn't bite me >.<

    just now... i always feed em different kinds of food and never piss em off x.x

  • my fuken hamster bites me

    ima wear gloves for the first couple of times..

    fuken things

  • i have two robo dwarfs and they always run away? please help!

    thanks.

    and i want it to actually like me.

  • yup !! i tried holding my hamster today he ran like hell!!!

  • Yes cup it one hand to each side then pick it up but beware young hamsters can be frightened at first.

  • How do you carry a young hamster?? Do you just pick it up?

  • @JojishiChan You shouldn't have a hamster if you have cats. Cats WILL try to kill your hamster. I suggest you put your hamster in a place where your cats can't reach, neither the hamster.

  • really nice it really works

  • Which is better a gerbil or a hamster ?

  • @121itzel a guinea pig if your afraid of losing it or having it bite you, cuz it wont bite withouth trying to nible softly and its bigger and slower than a hamster (and also not a night animal so youl probably wont wake it )

  • how do i trian a robovorski hamsters its too fast for me too hold and itll try to run away

  • my hamster is a wittle angel. her name is princess and she bit my mom on accident. because she was hungry. shes only a baby and shes sleeping so ADORABLY! ^_^ (P.S it didnt hurt my mom at all. she didnt even say ouch. ^_^

  • this didnt help at all.And all of the other videos dont all they say is come to our store do this and then thats it.

  • i bought my hamster at petco and the worker said i should leave him alone for 1 week or not pls respond.

  • @miguel8yuri leave it alone so it can explore its cage :)

  • @miguel8yuri no dont do that i think the guy was just saying that so the hammster could explower the cage and yes it does need to expower but not 4 a week where the f##k is the hamster in the sahara lo :D

  • Ya i tried to hold my hamster this morning, he growled at me and bit the hell out of my finger

  • @jirdimaster LMFAO DUUDE. XD
