How do i tame my new hamster? please help?
The first thing you need to do is have patience! :) I know how irresistible your hammy is, but you have to take things one step at a time. First off, make sure that you always wash your hand before sticking it in your hamster's cage. If your hand smells sweet, your hamster may mistake your hand for food and thus, want to bite it. I always begin taming my hamsters by offering them food with my hand. This way, the hamster will know that you are friendly. She has to get used to your scent and this takes more than a week. After doing that for some time, I gently try to pick the hamster up while it is looking. If you grab her while she is not looking, you will frighten her and discourage her even more from letting you touch her. Also, don't stress her out by trying to grab her a lot. Give her time. I had a long haired teddy bear hamster before and it did not tame as fast as my syrian hamsters. He finally did though so hang in there and keep trying!
