Hamsters, especially syrian hamsters will be grumpy if when woken, so it's usually best to keep your fingers away from them before they've had a time to collect their bearings... As for biting, I can make the following recommendations: i) Make sure your hands have been washed thoroughly with soap, otherwise he may be able to smell food and confuse them with food, ii) Always handle your hamster firmly, but gently. He may bite if he feels unsafe. Handle him every day and make sure he feels very secure in your hands. iii) If he does bite, don't drop or squeeze him, just give him a very light tap on the nose with the finger that he bit STRAIGHT away. They don't like this, and he'll know what he's done wrong. Don't ever tap hard, or after the event, it has to be straight away if he's going to learn! But do it gently!!!! iv) Get him to see the benefits of being handled - rub him gently to mimic grooming (he should love that) and keep some sunflower seeds or no sugar peanut butter handy so he associates you with being fed really nice things, but be careful that he doesn't think your hands are food, so wait until he's learnt not to bite before doing this. Good luck.

It won't die. I have to wash my hamster every 3-4 days due to him being in his wheel whenever he's awake and just going to the bathroom in the wheel instead of coming out of it. I just use the same shampoo I use on my ferrets(2), rats(3), and mice(4). It's a no-tear formula and it actually leaves his coat very fluffy and shiny :)

always KEEP SYRAIN HAMSTERS ALONE with NO other hamster in there cage only keep drawf hamster's in pairs or groups.

Mainly, destruction of their seaside habitat. But predators, especially by domestic cats, also played a part in the decline of this species. People have begun to provide safe areas for them to breed, so hope may be left for this small plover. Additional Info: The Piping Plovers (Charadrius melodus), are seen on shorelines, and walking beaches, east of the Rocky Mountains. But the populations suffered a serious decline in the 19th century due to over hunting. In 1918 the "Migratory Bird Treaty" was enacted, and the populations made a healthy recovery. But after the end of WW II, man's ever expanding, lifestyle and industrial growth has created another hardship for the populations by destroying their habitat. In 1986 the Piping Plover was added to the list of the Endangered Species Act, and thanks to the hard work of many, they have begun to recover in many areas. There are three main populations in North America. They are called, The Northern Great Plains, The Great Lakes and The Atlantic Coast. Each population is forced to contend with smaller breeding ranges and flocks. All of these populations are believed to winter in the same area, THE Gulf of Mexico. The entire populations including, the US., Canada, and Mexico populations, are listed as "threatened" according to the US Fish and Wildlife Service Endangered Species List. The Great Lakes population "only" in the states of IL, IN, MI, NY, OH, PA, and WI, including Canada (Ont.) is listed as "endangered", according to the US Fish and Wildlife Service Endangered Species List. It is also listed by most the states in that area it breeds in as endangered. The main threats to this bird is human action. The use of rivers and beaches for commerical and recreational use causes loss of nesting area. The continued development of coastline, and lack of considersation in water management policy. Then there are many common predators including, the mink, fox, skunk, raccoon, as well as the American Crow and gull who will attack the eggs and young chicks if given a chance. ALso the domestic animals, dogs and cat, mentioned above. Further study has been recommended for their wintering sites and any threats to their survival there. For more details please see site listed below.

Hamsters can often be more vocal and aggressive during mating, but it's important to closely observe their behavior to differentiate between fighting and mating. If there are no signs of injury or distress, they might just be establishing dominance. Keep an eye on them and separate them if the situation escalates.

Hamsters can start reproducing as early as 4-6 weeks of age, with the female reaching sexual maturity before the male. It's important to separate male and female hamsters by this age to prevent unwanted pregnancies.
