Default Re: Nippy ham ham

If she's taking treats from you that's a good start! The way I've always tamed my hamsters starts with that - then I lay my hand in the cage with a treat on top. I find that hamsters are much, much more likely to bite you if your fingers smell of food or treats, so make sure you're washing your hands in between handling food. Once she realised that your fingers and neither food nor a threat, the biting will stop.

Patience is key with taming. It will take time for you two to bond, and that can be frustrating but definitely worth it.
