there is not really a proper way to hold a hamster, if you feel comfortable and your hamster looks fine than that is brilliant! if you don't know how to hold a hamster than a easy way is to gently scoop it up so the hamster is on your hand. Make sure your hands are flat so just in case the hamster does try to bite they don't really have much to nibble on! Now just keep putting one hand in front of the other and edge your hamster to move onto them. They should eventually start walking when you move your hands. you can then just keep them in you hand. But if you are too scared to do that you can get a toilet roll and put it into the hamsters cage, they sooner or later will go into the tube. Then when they are in pick it up and put the tube on the end of your hand so they can climb on.

∙ 11y agoWhen you go to hold a Ferret you want to support its entire body, because they have a long body. If you don't, you will put stress on their spine. Put your hands underneath their front arms and if you have a long/heavy Ferret, you should support their bottom, but a small Ferret is fine with you just putting your hands underneath their arms.
Another way to hold a Ferret is by scruffing them. There is a loose piece of skin behind their neck and when they yawn, you have successfully scruffed them. Scruffing is not cruel, their mother, in the wild, would have done this if they were about to get hurt or if they are in danger. When you scruff a Ferret it sends chemicals to their brain to tell them to stop moving.

What is scruffing a ferret?
Scruffing a ferret is sometimes required to handle a ferret who is sick, injured, trying to escape or refusing to take a medication or have a wound looked at. It is the same concept used by moms to carry their young. You hold the ferret by the scruff of the neck, which is the loose skin on the back of the neck. It doesn't hurt but doesn't allow the ferret to escape either. The mother ferret scruffs her babies to discipline them and she also carries them by the scruff, like cat's do.
