Default Re: Getting bitten by otherwise calm hamster

It sounds as though she's still at that stage where they aren't sure where food stops & hands begin! It can help to just stop hand feeding for a while until she gets more used to hands, just let her climb onto or over your hands when she wants to for a while, maybe gently stroke her than when she's more used to hands try feeding again.
You could try using something to transport her out of the cage for now & just interact out of the cage.
If she does bite try not to react, just gently remove your hand & it should soon stop.
