Hamsters bite when they feel threatened. Usually they will warm up to you and become used to your voice, it takes a few days or sometimes a few weeks. If your hamster is biting you try washing your hands really good before attempting to handle your pet. The smell of food is definitely a trigger to their senses and they think, "yumm food." I have heard that male hamsters are more aggressive than female hamsters. My hamster is a male and he does bite from time to time. Mostly try not to sneak up on them in their cages. Move slow. and if they appear uncomfortable, probably for the sake of your fingers let them be.
