Taming Your Hamster

So once you've picked out your new hamster and your ready to start training them, then this is how you can start. Make sure your hamster is ready to be trained, you should wait a week or two before you start handling your hamster.

So once your both ready this is how you begin:

1. Make sure your hamster is awake. Gently and smoothly approach your hamster. Make sure they are 100% awake then you can start stroking them/petting them. Go easy make sure your stroking them in the direction their fur is naturally going in.

2. Don't jump to this step. Make sure you have spent at least 2 or 3 days petting your hamster for 10 to 20 minutes each day. After these couple days you can start picking your hamster up. Your hamster is probably more comfortable with you now. So gently wrap your hands around the waist of your hamster. Slowly and carefully lift them from the ground. Quickly put your free hand under your hamster for support.

3. Good Job. If your hamster nips you/bites you don't be angry with them. They are probably just uncomfortable or afraid. Rinse the wound with cold water and apply peroxide to your wound. Put polysporin and a bandaid.
