Hamsters may bite when they feel threatened or scared. It's important to approach them gently and give them time to get used to your presence before trying to handle them.
Because it thinks it is going to be attacked. let it smell your hand from outside the cage before you put in the cage
yes. you could wait until he is in his little house or "hiding place" and take the whole thing out of the cage. once he is in your hand he will not bite.
Try using a towel, or a wash cloth to hold him at first. As he gets used to being picked up you might not need it any more.
They nibble on food, fingers, and almost anything you put in their cage. You can put a wooden block in your rat's cage for them to chew on. Never put you finger in a very fiesty rat's cage or it will bite you and it will hurt. Badly.
yes, because when you put your hand in there cage they will start to bite so you should work with them at least every day for 30 minsIt will take a week or so for them to get use to you
it either doesnt like you or it has a certain need or problem.
It all depends on what bird you have, I had a parakeet so there were little buckets that you put in the cage and filled with bird feed. If it is a larger bird you can probably hold it out in your hand, obviously don't do this with small bird feed, but do this with something larger such as a grape. (I only say this because my bird loved grapes) If it is a smaller bird and it is a treat just put it in the cage (try to do this quickly, my bird was nasty and if she saw a hand she would tried to bite you, and she would bite with all of her birdy might!) If it is a humming bird maybe you could put something sweet like honey on your finger. Hope this helps!
You put your right hand in, You put your right hand out, You put your right hand in, And you shake it all about, You do the hokey pokey and you turn yourself around, then you take a bite of it
maybe
To get your hamster to stop biting you try wash your hand with soap and water to get the smell of food off your hands then rub your hands in its bedding that it has in his/her cage and slowly reach towards your hamster if it looks like it wants to bite you pull away SLOWLY!!!! not fast it will scare it if that doesn't work, talk to it softly and hand feed it treats . after you do these your hamster should not bite you anymoreFirst always wash your hands so it won`t smell food on you.Then hold it as much as you can,the more you hold it the less it will bite.
You can grab them by the back of the neck (the scruff) than flip them on your hand that makes it impossible for them to bite i know it sounds painful but that's how their mother did it and it will also comfort them
