hamster squealed at me?
i’ve had my syrian hamster Oscar for about a year and a half now, and while i was playing with him on my bed, letting him run on my arms and what not, he jumped off of my arm. when i went to try and stop him from running he made a loud squeak/squeal sound. i tried petting him to calm him down but he was very still, like how he is when he hears something in another room for example. then he started digging at my bedsheets hastily, so i put him away.
i’m not sure if i somehow scared him, or maybe reached his limit with playing? i feel a bit bad and don’t think i hurt him either.

Re: hamster squealed at me?
It is most likely that you scared him somehow. The best thing to do is to quickly and carefully scoop them up with a mug or toy and transport them safely to their cage leave them there with the lights off for an hour or two and they usually forget about it and are fine. In some cases, people have had to restart the taming process so don't be scared if you have to do this.

Re: hamster squealed at me?
I don't think you hurt Oscar, but it does sound like he was a scared. If you say he easily scared by noises from other rooms, he may have heard something which scared him and he was a little more alert than usual and with the movement of your hands to stop him running of might have frightened him (I have experience this with one of my hamsters too). I find t best to return them to their cages to let them calm down and relax - I used to find my girl would return to her usual self in a little while.
