If your hamster runs away when you try to pick it up, it either feels threatened, intimidated, or scared. Try taking it slowly, by constantly talking to it so it can feel comfortable near your voice, and feeding it a few treats every day. It is normal for hamsters to flee when you try to hold it, so be patient and let it get used to you.

Your hamster gets lost easily what do you do?
If your hamster gets lost when you try to pick it up, cup your hands so it doesn't make it uncomfterable like a preditor is eating it, but so it won't escape but is comfertable.Why your hamster is scared of youWell, it could be scared because it has never seen a human. Or, more likely, almost every hamster is scared at first. Try watching it a couple days and then hand feed it.My hamster is name Aphrodite (Afroe-DITEE), named after love. But, when I try to pet her, she either runs away or bites me and runs away. The deal is, she always runs away! So, I get a glove on without fluff balls (or hamster might bite the fluffy glove and choke on a fluff ball) and I try to pick it up without bringing her out of the cage and I stroke her close to the bottom of the cage in-case she falls. She soon calmed down and got used to my smell and didn't bite.Follow these steps and you and your hamster will fall in-love

How do you make your hamster get used to you?
If it is a new hamster then the best way is to put your hand it's the cage with a treat on it, if the hamster takes the treat and quickly runs away this is fine. Do this a few times every day and you should soon be able to start picking your hamster up without any treats. If hamster bites you whilst you pick it up this is probably because they stressed, or nervous, so just put hamster back in cage.(Don't shake hand to try and get hamser to release grip as you may injur hamster).
