Hi everyone, we adopted a lovely Syrian called Dolly on the 16th, we let her settle into her Hamster Heaven cage and we've been letting her smell us and sometimes putting a hand into the cage. She's rarely nipped, usually she just thinks about coming onto the hand and one or twice she's put a paw in. Today though she's given me a really nasty bite.

I'm thinking it's because I tried to do it after I'd had a shower, but I was in the cage stroking her for a while, then I moved my hand away and put it near her as a platform and she proper sunk her teeth into my middle finger.

I want to know what I did wrong so I can avoid it, but also i'm now a bit scared because the bite was insane, blood was coming out for minutes and it still hurts now about half an hour after the bite.
