Hi there. It's absolutely normal for you to be shocked about being bitten. As some comments said find out the reason will help a lot. But also, relationships between us and hamsters really is trust. If you don't trust him to not bite the wear gloves (althoughif you're learning how to handle this isnt the best idea because you cant feel the positioning with gloves but gloves honestly make you feel more confideng and protected i did this with my ham and still do if he looks annoyed. Keep trying though and don't give up! Regular handling with gloves may help, along with the tissue trick (put tissue up your sleeve and gove it to him as bedding) and he'll begin to trust you when you're in control and confident.

Hope this helps x
