Default Re: Hamster suddenly biting and lunging/hissing after spot clean

Hi and welcome, brownie looks a cutie, sorry to hear you’ve been bitten, the taming process can take a long time with a few nibbles in between. I’m a relatively new Syrian hamster owner and would say it’s taken around 6 months for him to feel comfortable with me to the point he’ll now walk over my flat palm and whilst eating I can give him a lovely stroke as long as I approach slowly talking to him all the time. Lots of great advice above, I’d give him some time, leave his cage other than a spot clean and go back to what you were doing initially and he’ll become friendly again as he was before
