Why does my friendly when out of the cage dwarf hamster only bite our hands when we feed him something in his cage and just have our hand in there with him?

Maybe he mistaked it for food, cause it smelled like it.

How do you pick up a dwarf hamster?
with your hands
Wicth is a better pet you are deciding over 7 pets Fancy Russian Dwarf Hamster or Robo Dwarf Hamster or Fancy Bear Hamster or Gerbil or Fancy Mouse or Dumbo Rat or Fancy Rat or a Guinea Pig?
I would say and dwarf hamster any kind there cheaper and they wont chew the bars of your hamster cage they are really cute. but do not get two and try not to let them escape your hands. They are really fast runners that's why i got the teddy bear hamster because they come in cute colors and they don't bite as much and you can get more than one. =)

Yes. Not only can dwarf hamsters sleep in your hands, other hamsters can, too. I have had a hamster, Butterscotch, and she slept in my hands, If you are very calm and quiet, sure! They'll sleep in your hands. Unless they aren't sleepy of course:)
How do you know when your hamster is ready to be held?
It may pee or poop in your hands and that is okay. You should keep trying to get your dwarf hamster comfortable though. Also, don't have too many people seeing him/her it could also be the problem with your dwarf hamster.

Do Russian hamsters bite?
All the animals that I can think of bite--except for goldfish. Russian Dwarf hammies DO bite, but it's in their natural instinct. You can tame this out of them, though. It will take a lot of time and patience. I am saying this as an experienced dwarf owner. Play with the hammiw everyday, DO NOT wake it up while its sleeping, and feed it food and treats by hand.yes, Russian dwarf do bite, i had the same question and had my hamster answer it. Dwarf Hamsters are more 'Nippy' and more territorial of their cages than Syrian, if you scare you hamster or take it away from its food bowl it may bite if you want to try this it might help: put a towel on your hands then place the hamster on you hands with the towel on it, make it trust you again by , talking nicely to it and it should start to trust you after a while....... hope this works for everybody!!!! no fancy Russian dwarf hamsters do not bite but most other breeds of hamsters do
Do Chinese dwarf hamsters remember you?
I have a chinese dwarf hamster and she is the sweetest thing in the world! Her name is Mocha and when i open her cage to put her in, she greets me and waits for me to pick her up! My guess is that they do remember you based on the sound of her voice (when i call to wake her up) and by your smell. But, do beware. wash your hands before you pick up your hamster especially if you have eaten in the past hour or so or if they are mistrustful to humans (so she or he can recognize your smell.
