The child wants to keep a little hamster at home, does the little hamster bite? How can I prevent a

The little hamster has a relatively gentle temperament and will not bite easily; First of all, we must give the hamster enough food**, and when choosing a hamster, we should choose a hamster with a gentle personality, choose to gently flick the body with your hand when biting, and repeat it several times without biting.

Small hamsters sometimes bite; Be sure to wash your hands before petting the hamster, don't disturb it while it is sleeping, you can bring a rubber glove, often be familiar with the little hamster, and don't touch other hamsters before petting your own little hamster.

In general, hamsters do not bite; Prepare food, prepare water, stay away from hamsters, teach children, and keep hamsters farther away.

Baby hamsters are also likely to bite.

Usually pay attention to the interaction with the hamster and establish a relationship with the little hamster.

1. Don't force the hamster to hug when it's unprepared. Suddenly hugging a hamster from behind while it is asleep, or when it is doing something (e.g. eating), can startle the hamster. So it makes sense that it would do some natural defense appropriately.

2. Don't hug the hamster when your hands smell peculiar. The hamster has a strong sense of curiosity, and it likes to smell, lick and nibble on things that arouse its curiosity. Therefore, it is recommended to wash your hands before holding a hamster, so that your hands do not smell as much as possible.

3. Don't hold the hamster when it's very hungry. Make sure the hamster is "well fed" before hugging it, otherwise it may bite your hand as food. Usually you can put enough food, and the hamster will find something to eat on its own when it is hungry.

If you put enough food, there is no chance that a hamster will bite you because of hunger.

4. Don't hug the hamster when it doesn't really trust you. If the hamster is already willing to be in your hand before, it proves that it has some familiarity with your hand. But if the hamster has been repulsive to your hand before, then it is best not to try to hold it easily, but to start with "lying down".

5. Don't hold the hamster when it's nervous. During a hamster fight (so don't close the cage) or during pregnancy, the mind will be in a state of high tension, and it is easy to be bitten when touched.

There are several reasons why hamsters can bite:

1. The hamster's sense of smell is very sensitive, if there is a smell of food on the hand, so if it takes the food it likes to eat, it is very likely to smell it and think it is food, so it will bite;

2. Hamsters were originally co-bred in pet stores, often fighting with other hamsters, so they were short-tempered and wary and hostile to other creatures;

3. It is not familiar with the hamster, and scratching it with your hand will make it insecure;

4. The eyesight of the hamster manuscript is not very good, and it will mistake people's fingers for food;

5. The hamster has a strong sense of territory, and if the loser touches other hamsters and has the smell of other hamsters on his hands, then the hamsters will expel the unfamiliar warehouse rats and bite their hands.
