No, when a hedgehog bites you it's jaw locks and it won't release it for a couple of seconds. Don't pull if your hedgehog bites you because it's instincts are to hold onto an insect. The usually bite if they're scared, you smell good, or if they are hungry. Hope this helped!

Why dwarf hamsters bite?

Well, many people think that Dwarf hamsters bite more than other hamsters. this may be true with some, but they are just like any other hamster. they only bite if they are scared, nervous, or even just because your hand may smell like food. if you do have a dwarf hamster that bites, you can get them to stop just like i did. it really isn't that hard. also some may bite because they might have been sleeping and someone woke them up or they were eating or even just because they might not be in a good mood...also, hamsters don't like it when your hand is in their cage.


Do hamsters bite more than gerbils?

I would say that both could bite, and both have sharp teeth, but, often, hamsters can get scared more easily than gerbils, and gerbils are social animals, so they usually like to be handled a lot, while hamsters would hide in their nest/burrow all day and want to be alone (they are solitary). I believe more likely hamsters would bite.


Do hamsters like turtles?

Well, first of all hamsters aren't supposed to be living in the same cage with other hamsters (unless dwarf) so what makes you think that a hamster can like a turtle. Hamsters are solitary and shouldn't be put in a cage with any other animal. Hamsters don't like turtles, they will feel threatened and will try to bite and defend themselves. And hamsters are vicious little animals. Hamsters DO NOT like turtles.

What animal bites more hamsters or gerbils?

Gerbils tend to bite less in the first place, and if you get them from a respectable breeder and not from a pet store, the gerbil will probably already be hand-tamed and have no reason to bite except if it is threatened. Hamsters are nocturnal, and are not to keen on being woken up, and are therefore more prone to biting. As for hurting less, gerbils only nip unless they mean it and rarely draw blood, while hamsters tend to be biting to bite.
