What should you do if your baby hamsters are behind your wall somewhere in your basement and won't come out?
Fish the hamster out. Take a hamster treat out and firmly tie it to a long piece of thread. If you don't have specially made hamster treats, use vegetables, fruit, bread, or even peanut butter. Use something with a obvious smell. Cast your "hamster line" into that crevice and slowly reel it in. Make sure your hamsters are following the food. Once they are close enough, put a barrier behind the crevice so they won't go in again. Next, quickly scoop them up!
Do golden hamster bites hurt?
Hamsters sometimes 'nip', if your hand smells of their food, they may test it gently, however as soon as they realise it's not food, they will stop. This doesn't really hurt, there's no force behind the bite. A true hamster bite is deep and painful. Hamsters have two pairs of long incisors, easily capable of sinking into flesh.
What is the history behind hamsters?
Hamster originated from Brazil found by a curious little girl named Elizabeth Cuttersniff. She found a girl hamster and a boy hamster and mated them. She had 16 newborn hammies. So she started giving them away only if they promised to get a boy and a girl and breed them, which many of her costmers were no to sure about that idea. That's all I know about there history back in the old days. If you have anymore questions about hamsters email me @ AnimalLoverAubree@gmail.com. I am an expert!

Why does my female hamster's back look weird I think it was caused by my male hamster biting the female hamsters behind Now the back looks wet and flat like an afro gone wet Did they mate or fight?
If it's just on one side of the hamster's body, this is nothing to worry about. When the hamster curls up to sleep, its nose can press into the fur on its flank, making a little wet spot.

What type of hamsters don't fight?
See the Related Links for "All About Hamsters" to the bottom for the answer. Hamsters handled frequently from a very young age usually remain docile and rarely bite. Those with docile temperaments and a history of not biting can simply be picked up by using one or both hands, and then held in both hands or in one hand held against the body. Many hamsters develop untrustworthy personalities and begin to bite because they have been handled roughly or suddenly disturbed or awakened. Hamsters whose personalities are not well known must always be approached cautiously. A glove or small towel can be used to pick up these hamsters, or the animals can be encouraged to crawl into a small container, which is then removed from their enclosure. Unknown hamsters and those known to bite can also be picked up and restrained by grasping a large amount of skin behind the head. As much skin as possible should be grasped between the thumb and index and middle fingers because their skin is so very loose. In fact, hamsters can literally turn nearly all the way around within their skins and bite a handler if this caution is not heeded! Hope this helps!
