Answers:
Actually, if you press between his ears it will force his head forward. This is a punishment. When he bites you, press gently between his ears until he either lets go, puts his head forward, or down.
Give him a small treat when he ceases and speak kindly to him. Never drop him, hit him or flick him. Reward him when he does good. :)
If you put him down when he bites you, maybe he will learn that you don't want to hold him if he bites. Good luck!
I don't know if you have been doing this but DO NOT EAT ANYTHING before you pick him up to play. they smell the food on your fingers and they think it's food. wash your hands before and aafter playing with him and see if that helps. Good Luck
Hamsters are not good pets. They bite (as you have found out) are active only at night and are dirty.
Rats are much better pets, they are cleaner than hamsters, guinea pigs and rabbits. Rats are also smarter and friendlier. You can even spend time with rats just sitting on your shoulder, they are happy just spending time with you as you go about your business.
Many people are afraid of rats and are turned off by the hairless tail. Rats are nicer than some people I know.
all hamsters tend to go bad eventually. ive had 6 hamsters in my life and every one of them got mean after a while, no matter how tame or nice they were before. i think its the hamsters way of showing its old age.
well let's see here----TOSS HIM!
I dunno hamsters like to do that.
