What happens if your female hamster bites male and it start bleeding?
Do not worry. Unless your female hamster has a bad disease that you know of, nothink will happen. The hamster should stop bleeding and heal. If the female tries to bite him again and he doesn't defend himself or retaliate and she looks feirce and/or stressed, she may need some "quiet time". Seperate them for a few hours or until she seems calm. Some female animals bite or scratch males when they are on heat.
If a dog bites one time will it bite again?
I ever heard it will, and I believe it because in general if a dog bites it means it has not been well educated, it is very hard to change it once adult.
Do hamster bites hurt?
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.
When does a Hamster bite?
A hamster usually won't eat her babies unless if it is ill and/or dying. The mother may also eat her baby if anyone has touched it. If you touch a baby the mother will smell an un-natural scent and the first thing she'll think is 'danger'. A hamster.. in this case.. will either abandon the baby or eat it to keep her other babies safe. If you have a pregnant hamster; DO NOT pick up the babies when they are born (even though its hard to resist). It'd probably be best if you left the mother and her babies alone for a while. When you clean the cage, work around the mom. You don't want to disturb or distress her in any way.
How can you get A hamster that does not bite?
pick an hamster that you like you cannot tell if it bites or not if it does is is easy to solve if you basicly just got the hamster leave it in its new cage for a day( its is quite hard to leave it alone but its for the goood) then what you do is but your hand luying flat with treats in it (the hamster will not pick the treats with its teeth it will use its hands) whenit aproches you it will sit on your hand don't strokck it the first Tim then repeat this this time its okey to strock it do htis a few times and put ur hand out with no treats it should come then strock it and there you have it trained to not bite if it dosent work keep repeating the second step until; it does the key to success is to be patiant and be comfortable with it the hamster will not bite unless you have upset it in any way i hope this worked for you it has for me from the annonomous hamster owner or another way is to get a male hamster they r much esier to train they r more gentle and kinder so get a male unless u really want a female trust me males r better i got used to my male right away just give your hamster some food by hand for a few days and after it feels a little settled in its cage and a little more used to u than u can stroke your hamster if it lets u than that is a good sign soon u will learn to hold it and get used to it it should not bite u at this point and if it does it either means u upset it or u just ate something and it thinks u r food. Do not be angry or drop the hamster if it bites becuz it is not the hamsters fault that hamsters have a very good sense of smell and very poor eyesight so be nice to it don't yell at it and it should not bite u r most likely to get a hamster that does not bite as much if u get a male my friends female was biting and it still bites so my friend has to hold it a different way witch doesnt look so comfortable for the hamster so its best u get a male and make sure its healthy besides hamster bites don't hurt much so u will be okay just don't hurt the hamster by another hamster owner who has a hamster that does not bite but did at first PS get a winter white Russian dwarf hamster those are very cute and are nice too i have one=)

If a hamster bites you what shuold you do?
Ways to heal the hamster bite:Wash the cut with warm water. Put some disinfectant on the cut (tcp, savlon, germaline) and put a plaster on it. If it keeps biting you try rubbing your hands in his sawdust so you smell like his cage. He won't feel as threatened by you then and is less likely to bite you.Wash the cut out with warm water and put neosporin and a bandaid on it. Also if it bites you again leave it alone for the rest of the day. Try petting it and it might make you feel better depends on what kind of person you are. If it is really deep or really bleeding hard, go to a doctor.Hope it gets better.Wash the cut out and clean it with soap. If the cut didn't break the skin I just wash my hands after I am done playing with it. When my hamster bites i heard you are supposed to tap it on the nose.Clean the cut throughly and apply antibiotic cream and put a bandage on it. It will heal from there on.

Usually mosquito bites go away on their own after a little time. If the bite itches or is very irritated, hydro-cortisone cream should help with that.
