Default Braveheart eats human flesh

My hamster Braveheart has always enjoyed biting my fingertips for some reason. Today I was trying to handle her and I was lazy and just let her have at it so she would realize that I'm not food. Only problem is that she instead sliced off a chunk of my fingertip, ate it, and then came back for seconds. Is this common hamster behavior??

Haha, I totally relate to your story, can't resist the puppy face. My dog is 3 years old now and I still fall for those big eyes every once in a while

I'm pretty sure she's a hybrid like the others. Maybe she's lacking protein? I put her on the floor and she attacked my toes..

I can't handle a hamster that wants to eat me every time I touch it.

Darla nibbles, but I've only ever had him start chewing once. Braveheart seems like a slightly unusual hammy try giving more mealworms/protein and see if she stops?
