Hamsters may bite their cage out of boredom, stress, or a need for more space. Providing enrichment activities, a larger cage, and regular handling can help reduce this behavior.

Why does your hamster keep running her head into her cage?

Your Hamster must have a Mental Illness with its brain. If a mental illness occures, due to the small size of a hamster, you can't really do much about it. But modify the cage by putting small couchions on the most of the points where your hamster can reach so It wont get injured when it runs into the cage bars.

What do you do if you have a squirmy hamster?

the best way to introduce your hamster to handling is to let them come to your hand. if you were a hamster you wouldn't want to be grabbed! show that you are not a threat by putting your hand in the cage near the hamster without touching it and slowly moving it away from the hamster. this way your hamster is more likely to come to your hand. avoid quick movements as this will scare your hamster. when your hamster has had enough leave it or it wont come out when you are there. though it may take time, your hamster will gradualy get used to your hand and wont mind being held! i am in the process of taming my fourth hamster at the moment! hope i helped!
