Slowly get your hamster use to your smell. Put your hand in her cage with a treat and wait, just let her take it. Do that everyday. After 2 days try picking her up. Put her in your lap and let her explore for about 10 minutes. Then put her back in her cage. Do that everyday gradually lengthening the time she spends in your lap until she is comfortable with you. Then bring in another person and repeat.
Almost every young hamster dislikes humans at first. You have to slowly get your hamster used to you. Always talk softly and handle your hamster very gently. However, don't handle your hamster so loosely that you drop it. If you treat your hamster well, he or she will eventually learn to trust you. Hand feed your hamster with seeds or fresh vegetables. Food is a hamster's life, so if you hand feed treats to him or her, he/she will soon become your friend. Play with your hamster often.
Well, I'm not that of an EXPERT, but I think you scared him/her by squeezing it while holding it or suddenly grabbed it, or talked too loud that you scared it. If you did any sudden movements to it in the past, I think that's why it's scared of you. If not, maybe you just didn't take care of it very well, or didn't give it enough food or water. Give it a little house or igloo thingy, so it can feel more safe.
I HOPE THIS REALLY HELPED :) :D :P (:
Offer your hamster treats or little bits of food when you open his/her cage. If he bites you stop offering him/her food and just visit him a lot.

By biting and scratching. Most likely they would run away. I had a hamster a few years ago, they have sharp teeth and mine had claws, so they can bite and scratch, they also hide and/ or play dead Hamsters protect themselves by biting or hiding. usually biting. Biting. or peeing if scared, or mouthing (not actually leaving a mark) to tell you it wants you to put it down. Hamster bite. In the wild, many types of hamster empty their cheek pouches of seeds and whatever they've hoarded to distract their predator's, which are mainly birds of prey, the bird stops to eat the seeds while the hamster makes its great escape.
yes you can touch the baby hamsters just dont let the mom hamster see you touching them distract the mother by giving it a meaty treat if the mother cacthes you touching her babys then you will not be able to put back baby hamster it will get eaten if you see the mother hamster biting the baby its not biting its just trying to move the baby hamster it cant move the baby by pushing it
hah. this might sound kind of weird but,get thick gloves to pick him up and place him in a box (that has air) or a running ball (my hamster loved those)he just needs to get use to you.*hope this helped
Usually the hamster is cleaning its leg....cuzz i have 2 hamsters and 1 hamster always bites on the other one while its asleep, they are not fighting they are cleaning !!! but if the hamster bites through its leg and there's a red part you should take it too the vet
No. You should never punish your hamster. They are not going to listen to you if you punish them. I hope you weren't going to hit her/him for biting you. Trust me, they will like you if clean their cage often, give them fresh water everyday and healthy food.
its hungry
It's hugely unlikely that the hamster died b/c of biting you. More likely it bit b/c it was already feeling ill, and then died.
Since there in the dissent family and their brain isn't really that big I doubt you could train a hamster not to bite but if you handle him more and let him get used to you he will most likely stop biting you
A while ago I had a hamster which was always biting. At first I thought he had a nasty temprement, but later I discovered he had a problem with his intestines which was causing him pain. There is no way of stopping a hamster biting, but when you handle him try using garden gloves do avoid getting bitten.
well, biting. the hampster may bite you.....
Get him a chew toy

it might be biting itself or it could be a disease causing it or try new bedding
this more than likely means your hamster is only used to your sent and no one else, how to prevent this um this may be difficult to prevent but you can try taming you hamster to the other people it is nibbling... OH I nearly forgot if you hamster IS just NIBBLING and not really BITING the other people it may be because their hands smell like food or something tasty to your hamster! Hope this helped!
Well how long have you had it? Maybe: 1. You need to play/train with your hamster some more. 2. Or it maybe just doesn't like you.
you should try to take it out but if its biting you use a paper towel. good luck
