Default Re: Taming a biting hamster

If I let my hamster bite me as much as she wanted, my entire hand would be pouring blood.. no joke. These are not small nips - last time the bite was very deep and bled for about 20 minutes. I can see the wisdom in what you're saying but I would really be concerned that I might have to go get stitches if I tried that. It hurts quite a lot and I'm not sure I could just sit there while she bit me repeatedly. Also I know my husband certainly wouldn't do that (he's afraid of her now after being bitten twice himself) so we'd still need a way for him to be able to handle her. You must have a very high pain tolerance! LOL

edited to add: yes thanks about the antibacterial stuff - we are sticklers for hand washing with unscented soap - we are desperate to keep her from biting and this is one of the first things we read about.
