when hamsters come into a new home they are very unsure and scared. You are suppost to leave the hamster alone for the first week or couple of days to get used to smells and sounds and his/her surroundings.

Did you wash your hands befor you touched your hamster? because if you have previously touched another hamster/pet/or food item then the hamster could have smelt that and thought you were food.

Some times baby hamsters bite because they dont know what you are they are just checking you out.

If you did wash your hands were they WELL rinsed and not washed with perfumed soap? because hamsters can be attracked by the smell and take a nibble to see what smells so flowery.

Or your hamster just might not be tame. you have to be patient with hamsters and any pet. give it lotsa love and dont give up ok..

this is how you are suppost to get a hamster out of its cage without a fight and or struggle.... take off lid or top *yes the whole thing* and cup your hands around the hamster gently.
if you put your hand through a cage door it looks like a preditor is comeing in. so take off the lid or cage top and scoop with both hands... here is a pic on how to properly hold a hamster.....




Always use two hands when holding a hamster so that they dont jump.

I hope I helped.
