From "day one", every time I held my dwarf hamster, if she would bite, I would GENTLY touch her nose and calmly say "No bite" or "No biting". It didn't take a really long time for her to get the connection, and she no longer bites -- not even strangers who hold her. Also, if you consistently treat your hamster gently and calmly (in handling and talking), it will tend to become more gentle and calm.
Mine LOVES having her fur and underlying skin massaged. When I start, she becomes a "puddle of fur" -- totally relaxed and calm. And, because I am calm and loving to her, and treat her with kindness and respect, she acts that way toward me.
Also, make sure that your hamster has some crunchy food or other substances in its cage that it can safely bite and chew.

∙ 13y agoWell you have to make it get to know you first. When its quiet put your finger into the cage but do not go near it let it come to you. Once it smells you a little it'll know you. Then talk to it and try to pet it.if it runs away try the process again. in a week or too you'll be able to pick him/her up. Also if you want to pick it up without letting it bite you, you should first if you have some a small box at the top of your cage chase the hamster up there once it is in the box left it up and cover the hole. Once you've done that you have captured your hamster.

∙ 13y agoIt depends if the bite broke the skin. I f your hamster bite brakes the skin put some peroxide on it in order to clean it. Then use either Vaseline or Neosporin on it so the skin will heal. Then put an antibacterial bandage on it and you'll be good to go. Or go to the doctor if you think your hamster had rabies or you're just really worried.

How do you make your hamster to stop biteing?
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.
Why does my Syrian hamster keep biting the bars of the cage she has loads of toys?
My hamster did the same. I know why. You need to let her run free for a while. She feels locked in a prison and she wants to run around for a bit. Buy a hamster ball and let her run around in it. This is so much more amusing than the television...
