Snowy and Smokey pictures

Yes I too have had a hammie dangling off my thumb before and it did hurt and I did shriek. I though I would never get him off. He smelt another male and I had made the mistake of not washing my hands so he thought he was biting a rival male syrian. Does he bite only near the cage or outside too? They probably sense your understandable nervousness now. Try and not present a finger or anything they can get a grip on. Use a fist and let them smell it first. If they only bite near the cage they may have cage aggression so herd them into a box or ball and take them well away from the cage on to a bed before handling. I don't think they will be biting each other as they will have an established hierarchy now and you would see bite marks.

Ok thanks, If I lay my hand flat he will nibble on it, He did the dangling thing when he was out of the cage but its in or out. I don't mind too much I'm just glad that he doesn't bite smokey. I do check them every night for bites, blood etc.
I was watching them last night and smokey seemed to be running away from snowy, everyime he saw he he'd dart away
I hope this doesn't lead to them having to be split up!
