Alfie and Oscar have both started making soft clicking noises when we pick them up. Could it be because they can smell Lola? Does anyone know what the noises mean?

there seems to be two types of clicking noises that my hamsters make, one they do more than the other and often its when they are exploring or being handled, the other happens when they are frightened.

They say clicking in the books is supposed to be when they are happy but i'm not so sure I have heard them do it when they are frightened and again when they smell another hammy. Kaytix I would wash hands between hammies particular if you have handled a girl before hand as males will go mad if you have handled a girlie first then they smell your hands and they will think they can have her.

I hope this helps

Whenever I brought a hamster home for the first time, they always click at me and the babies do!
