I would not attempt to pick up a baby hamster till it is eating on it's own. Hamsters are very quick to cannibalize their young if they in anyway fell threaten or of the babies are threatened. This includes the smell of the baby hamster changing in anyway.
Fist things fist. Wash the bite with soap and water. The next time you try to pick up your dwarf hamster wear a thick glove with your sent. Do this everyday for 5 minutes and eventually he will get used to you.
The gender of the dwarf hamster does not typically affect its behavior or care needs. Choose the hamster based on other factors like temperament, activity level, and appearance that match your preferences and lifestyle. Both male and female dwarf hamsters can make wonderful pets with proper care and attention.
Russian Dwarf Hamster is not mean at all. It can bite though at first. When you first get it do not pick it up because it is not use to the environment yet wait til it gets to its cage then start patting it and holding it. After that, it will be really tame and hardly bite. The worst it does is nibble. The ones that are nice are the Fancy Dwarf Hamster and the Russian Dwarf Hamster.
I have a chinese dwarf hamster and she is the sweetest thing in the world! Her name is Mocha and when i open her cage to put her in, she greets me and waits for me to pick her up! My guess is that they do remember you based on the sound of her voice (when i call to wake her up) and by your smell. But, do beware. wash your hands before you pick up your hamster especially if you have eaten in the past hour or so or if they are mistrustful to humans (so she or he can recognize your smell.
You should pick up your hamster. Picking up your hamster lets it get used to you, the more you pick it up and play with it the more friendler it becomes.
you need to go to infant and pick a crib and then a half hour a baby will be there.
Yes, but you must be very gentle with it and make sure you do not drop it.
A hamster can be picked up after it has left drinking from its mother at three weeks old.
Not too much, but you can. It won't affect the babies or anything, but try to leave Mom alone because she can get hyper and jittery during pregnancy.
