Hello,
I've had my hamster since August and we've gotten along very well, for real. He has never ever bitten me before.
Today I wanted to give him a treat as I usually do and he came running at me and just bit my finger so hard that it started bleeding.
He was already awake, so I didn't' wake him up and then he started chewing the cage's bars (which he has never done before, for real).

Yesterday everything was totally fine. We even played in the evening and it let me pet him and I wished him goodnight and everything.

He has never behaved this way before and I honestly didn't know hamster's bites can hurt or even make you bleed.

He's now under the bedding. I saw some movement.

He has chew toys, food and a cage that's over minimum size. I've spent so much money on him he shouldn't complain. He also has a loving owner and I thought he loves me too.
