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.

Why dwarf hamsters bite?
Well, many people think that Dwarf hamsters bite more than other hamsters. this may be true with some, but they are just like any other hamster. they only bite if they are scared, nervous, or even just because your hand may smell like food. if you do have a dwarf hamster that bites, you can get them to stop just like i did. it really isn't that hard. also some may bite because they might have been sleeping and someone woke them up or they were eating or even just because they might not be in a good mood...also, hamsters don't like it when your hand is in their cage.
When do dwarf hamsters get use to you?
Interact with your hamster everyday for at least an hour or two. Let your hamster know you're not a predator by offering him/her food from your hand and petting them.
How do you get a Siberian Hamster to not bite you?
Just try and handle it regularily. It needs to get used to your smell. Get some food and place it in your hand. Let the hamster come and get it from you.
What makes the best hamster for a pet?
I think Syrian hamsters - the large ones. I have had 7 hamsters and the syrians have all been the most calm and relaxed in your hand as well as not biting. I would advise against getting a dwarf Russian hamster or dwarf Chinese hamster because despite them looking cute they often bite and are very difficult to tame. Hope I helped :)

Are winter white dwarf hamster safe pets?
Yes! I own one right now his name is Barry. He is the best hamster, he climbs right into my hand. Winter white hamster love sunflower seeds, and they only bite when necessary. My previous hamster never bit me, but if your hamster does bite you don't freak out and most importantly don't be scared. Give them treats only when they're good, and if they still bite where a glove and eventually they will get tired of biting. Hope the answer helped and winter white hamsters are definitely the best pets I've ever had.
Why does my Russian dwarf hamster squeak and run when I go near it?
dwarfs are very shy and timid and normally are a little harder to build trust with Start with just putting you hand in the cage until you think you hamster is not scared of you. Then hold out pieces of food and have he/she take the food. after a week of doing this your hamster should be familiar with your scent.When you try to pick up your hamster,put in a jar/cup with some food in it.Once your hamster goes in slowly lift he/she up. Hold the jar sideways and put your hand out. If your hamster climbs on your hand they can trust you. If he/she seems hesitant you can lower him back in the house and keep trying the steps again. This has always worked for my hamsters.
Why do your male Russian dwarf hamster bite you?
Try washing your hands thoroughly before putting them near the hamster and put a few seeds in your palm and just keep your hand still and palm up in it's cage and let the hamster do what it wants. Also, if it does bite you DON'T jerk away. It learns that "hey, I bite it leaves so I'll keep doing it!'. Lots of patience is involved in developing trust with your hamster and I speak from experience as I bought a russian dwarf that was labeled a 'Biter' by Pet Smart and after a little more than two months of patience she no longer bites me at all unless I'm stupid enough to startle her when she's sleeping.
