Hamsters hiss or make a high pitched screaming noise when they are scared or highly distressed. Say for instance if you are squeezing it too tightly or are handling it too much.

It is not advisable under any circumstance to handle a hamster until it is used to your voice and your smell.

Can you leave a hamster on its own for 2 weeks?
If there is no one to check on the hamster, I would not extend it past 3 days. For example, if it is a weekend and you left Friday morning, make sure you are back by Sunday evening. If absolutely necessary, you COULD give your hammy at leasat 2 full food bowls and at least 16 oz. of fresh water. That could last them up to 5 days, but it is not recommended. If there is anyone who can just check in once a day to refill food bowl(s) and water bottle(s) that would be the better solution.
