I used to have hamster, but now I have guinea pigs
Make sure the wheel is either noise free oe in a place it won't disturb you at night
And
Is it a dwarf or a normal?
Dwarfs are genneraly more friendly |

i have, but all the hamsters i see look a bit smaller than her. same coloration, though. she might not be a dwarf.
its too late for me to go check and compare, though. my moms asleep and so is my hamster probably.

I have a guinea pig <3 Hamsters tend to be left alone until they get used to you near them. Try to let the hamster smell you, so it can get used to you. And, another trick, if you get a treat every time you go to the cage, it might come if it smells it, and then you can pick it up gently, and feed it in your arms. If it still bites, try the method for two weeks If it still bites after two weeks, use further instruction from a local vet or some friend that has a hamster.

Hah, I tried that technique earlier.
I can tell she's more comfortable with me now. She's what you call an emotional pooper.
We accidentally left her in her ball for about ten minutes and she started leaving milk duds all over the floor. She also pooped in my hand yesterday but she's less afraid now.
However, she still seems to bite when i try to pick her up out of her cage. I thought it might be because its difficult for her to get on my hand so she tries to use her teeth to hoist herself up. I don't know. Should I put a ramp in her cage for her if so?

she bit me really hard earlier and i nearly bled. luckily im really soft with her. i seriously think anybody else would've flung her across the room.
she likes to nibble on things though. she nibbles on the cage. she nibbles on her makeshift house that i made (old one was urinated on so badly that the wood was softer than copy paper.)
