How to keep a hamster from biting you


Hamsters are very cute little critters, but they’re hiding a secret. They have huge chompers that can really hurt! Is there anything you can do to keep your hamster from biting you?
You can greatly reduce your chances of getting bitten by properly socializing your pet. You start by putting your hand in the cage once or twice a day and leaving a treat behind. Soon, your hamster will come up to check things out, at which point you can try petting him. Eventually he can be removed from the cage.Even after he’s socialized, he can still bite if he’s scared or startled. Make sure you provide a safe atmosphere for your hamster to play when he comes out of the cage.If your hamster still bites, you should schedule an appointment with your Animal Medical Center of Marquette to make sure there isn’t anything wrong with your furry friend.
