I have a tip! I have been experimenting with mine for the last week as to when I get them out. Every time I was waking them up around 6.30 I was being bitten by Fawn even though I smelt of nothing threatening. She drew blood a few times to start with.
This last week I have switched to getting them out after 9.00 when they are already awake, and I haven't been bitten since!!
I think with Campbells the biting is relating to their mood.

I only pick mine up from housing in a tube when wide awake & at feeding time at night. I have 2 new girls 1 used 2 nip but now even if she sniffs me & looks like she will nip I very gently blow in her face. Done this everyday 4 couple of weeks & now she never nips (touch wood).Also put some food on hand to distract her teeth :P Hope that may help

They are lovely hammies Timmo. They look quite happy in your hands there.

hmmm... are those not hyrbid campbells/winter white, becaues they look very much like the colour of normal winter whites too me, but a campbell shape.

I don't know an awful lot about the dwarfs (yet) but I did also notice the 3 stripes, 1 down their back and 2 along their flanks, which would appear to indicate ww's too - amazed I actually got something right!
I'm guessing there are quite a few hybrids floating around then?
