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

Is a Syrian Hamster more aggressive than a Russian Hamster?

Generally speaking, no. Russian (dwarf) hamsters are more apt to bite, because they are smaller and easier to frighten. However, it depends more on how and how often the hamsters are handled then on the breed. Gently handle your hamsters starting with a couple of minutes a day and building up over time (do not handle them for a few days after initially bringing them home, they need time to adapt to their new home).


Are Russian hamsters mean?

They are very mean. I had one that bite me so bad I had to get stitches. So I recommend something else because when I got home it bit me again but not as bad, so we had to return the hamster and get another one. The second Russian hamster bite me on the nose and I was bleeding for an hour! So it wasn't the first hamsters personality. It is all those evil buggers!
