No, it is not normal, but you can try leaving the hamster alone for a little while so he might forget you, then try coming back to him with a friendly face, and and gently pat it. Don't hold it too much though, maybe that might be the reason why he is scared of you.

Are hamsters better off in a pet shop when pregnant?

TRuthfully, no. I got my hamster from a pet store, been there for all her life(9 weeks until I bought her) and she is very timid, and easily frightened. My friend Sarah bought her hamster from a flea market, and her hamster isn't scared of anything. And if your hamster is pregnant, the pet store will not let you return it.

Why is it when you try to pick up or pet your hamster it will bite you and if you use a towel or something he just jumps out of your hands what do you do?

the hamster is scared when you corner it or put your hand s towards its face .the best thing to do is rub the sawdust from inside the cage in your hands then try to relax your hand with the Pam of the hand facing up. then the hamster will sniff the sawdust in your hand it should go on your hand but try not to lift it as it might get scared again ,try and put food in your finger tips and feed hamster as the fingertips seems to be smaller than the Pam of your hand .then give time for your pet hamster to trust you .
