How to stop your hamster from biting you

Hamsters are wonderful pets, but they occasionally bite. This is an article to stop them biting

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. Handle your hamster with care. Hamsters only bite when afraid, or after they had a meal. I tend to hold my hamster with my first three fingers around its waist. Do not hold it too hard or it will bite!

2. Stroke your hamster, before handling it. Even if it is sleeping, stroke it lightly about 5 times before letting it sleep (do not attempt to hold it while it is about to sleep, or it will bite you really really hard). Doing so will make your hamster know that it is safe.

3. Do not wear gloves. If you do, the hamster may get thread between its teeth.

Tips & Warnings

• If it bites, resist the temptation to drop it (even though it hurts). Set it down Gently
