Well how long have you had it?
Maybe:
1. You need to play/train with your hamster some more.
2. Or it maybe just doesn't like you.
its hungry
There are several methods for picking up a hamster. The two safest methods are: 1) Lower a container into the cage and let the hamster climb into it. This method is safe and keeps the hamster from biting your fingers. 2) Cup your hands together and slide them under the hamster to lift it out of the cage. Or slide one hand under the hamster and cup your other hand over the top of the hamster.
It's hugely unlikely that the hamster died b/c of biting you. More likely it bit b/c it was already feeling ill, and then died.
Since there in the dissent family and their brain isn't really that big I doubt you could train a hamster not to bite but if you handle him more and let him get used to you he will most likely stop biting you
A while ago I had a hamster which was always biting. At first I thought he had a nasty temprement, but later I discovered he had a problem with his intestines which was causing him pain. There is no way of stopping a hamster biting, but when you handle him try using garden gloves do avoid getting bitten.
well, biting. the hampster may bite you.....
Get him a chew toy
By biting and scratching. Most likely they would run away. I had a hamster a few years ago, they have sharp teeth and mine had claws, so they can bite and scratch, they also hide and/ or play dead Hamsters protect themselves by biting or hiding. usually biting. Biting. or peeing if scared, or mouthing (not actually leaving a mark) to tell you it wants you to put it down. Hamster bite. In the wild, many types of hamster empty their cheek pouches of seeds and whatever they've hoarded to distract their predator's, which are mainly birds of prey, the bird stops to eat the seeds while the hamster makes its great escape.
Knock it on the head.
Because it's got rabies! Just kidding! It's probably because they are not outside too often, so they are not sociable, they sometimes do it to catch your attention. Or that's they're personality.
it might be biting itself or it could be a disease causing it or try new bedding
this more than likely means your hamster is only used to your sent and no one else, how to prevent this um this may be difficult to prevent but you can try taming you hamster to the other people it is nibbling... OH I nearly forgot if you hamster IS just NIBBLING and not really BITING the other people it may be because their hands smell like food or something tasty to your hamster! Hope this helped!
