Raffy probably was younger than you first thought.

When i enquired about Rodney he was described as this nasty hamster who bit a child and attacked the mother. When i got there and jokingly asked to see the monster hamster i was totally amazed to find this tiny baby hamster who wasn't more than 10 weeks old, if that.

People buy a baby hamster for a young child who then immediately picks the hamster up to play with the new toy and gets bitten. Then the parents want rid of it asap and try to get their money back.

I think that Raffy came from this kind of circumstances as well and was never given the chance to settle in but was grabbed at from day one and consequently bit out of fear.

I still think that with time and your loving care he will be able to overcome this fear.
