Re: Mean Hamster help
You could try gloves (non-toxic kind) at first, if you are worried about her biting you, then she won't be able to hurt you.
Talk to her softly at all times, just let her get used to your voice in the background. Give her some tissue that has your scent on it, and try the bathtub bonding suggestion.
Please ensure your hands are freshly washed and do not smell like food. My hamster did nibble experimentally on our fingers, but she soon grew out of it when she realised our fingers aren't food.
Some hamsters don't like being touched, so maybe you don't have to touch her. Just watch her and enjoy her adorable ways. I could watch mine all day long, really!
