I have a winter white hamster and I have had her for about 5 months. I honestly have not felt her bite me. If you hold her when you have food on your hands she might nibble but mine has never bit me.
yes sometimes its just a little nip and sometimes it bite strait to the bone. but if it did bite really hard just wash your hands.
sometimes, but all hamsters do. its not very hard at all. it just feels like a little pintch.
All Breeds if they decide to bite you hard enough. They will only bite if they are super aggressive or if they are scared.
probably because they need something hard to trimm their teeth because it is getting long.
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.
yes, because they like to act like their mom, but if you wake it up it will bite you hard
Depends. They Bite Out Of Fright Or If Your Hands Smell Like Food. So I Suggest You Handle Them With Care And Wash Your Hands Before Touching Them.
That depends on what you mean by White Dwarf Hamster. You may be referring to a Winter White Dwarf Hamster which tend to be a light gray, or a Albino Dwarf Hamster that is completely white and maybe red eyes. Albino Hamsters may be hard to find, but you can call nearby pet stores and ask if they have the hamster you are looking for. (Stores like Pj's Pets, PetSmart, Local Pet Breeds, etc)
Of course there is all kinds of hamsters, like dwarf hamsters there the size of a puff ball , huge and even extreemly fuzzy hamsters, there are at least more than a hundred kinds of species of hamsters. Though wild hamsters are hard to catch, viciouse, and bite, plus may have rabies.
All hamsters bite, but luckily teddybear hamsters... not as much. there more luvable and you can be a bit more rough with them unlike other hamsters! Dont push him-or-her though if lack of handle they will bite hard!! hope i helped:)
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.
yes, they do. My biology teacher was bitten by one, and sadly enough had to knock it against the counter to get it off. (It didn't survive.)
