Because they are so cute and fluffy, it can be easy to forget that newborn hamsters are essentially wild animals. As such, they are quite frightened of humans, and may nip or bite because of this. Because of this, it is essential to help your hamster adjust to its new home by following these steps:
1. Let It Settle In
When you first get a hamster it is a good idea to leave it in its cage for a day or two, to let it get used to its new surroundings. This will help it form the idea that its cage is its home, and it can feel protected and safe while in it. Watch your hamster from a distance to see if he is getting used to his new home - he will often start by cowering in a corner, but will gradually begin to venture out to explore.
2. Talk To Him
Once your pet seems comfortable in his cage, try sitting next to it, with your face close to the bars, and gently talk to him to put him at his ease. This will help him get used to the sound of your voice, and also give him time to become used to having you around. It will also show him that you are not a threat.
3. Show Him You're A Friend
When your hamster is happy with you around, and does not appear to be afraid of you any more, you can begin to pet and stroke him through the bars of his cage. Be aware that he may still bite you, but this is not a sign of aggression - it is more likely that he is just 'figuring you out'. This is also a good time to feed your hamster little bits of food through the cage bars. This will show him that he can trust you, and that you are a good source of tasty treats!
4. Let Him Get Used To Your Presence
Next, open the cage and rest your hand on the floor. Keep it still, and allow your hamster to run all around it and explore it, so that he becomes used to its presence. Animals have a very keen sense of smell, and your hamster will also use this to build a bond with you.
5. Pick Him Up
By this point, your hamster should have become used to your presence, and has learned that you are a friend rather than an enemy. It is then time to try picking him up. Gently cup him in both hands (you may need to remove the cage lid to do this), then sit in a comfortable chair and let him run from one hand to the other. It is worth noting that hamsters have a tendency to jump away from your body, so be sure to sit in a chair that isn't too high, and preferably choose one which is above a soft surface just in case he does fall.
Within a few days your hamster should be be perfectly happy to be held and played with. He now feels completely comfortable in his surroundings, and has come to realise that your home is now his home. This is a great time to let him roam around the room exploring - just be sure to keep a keen eye on him because they have a habit of disappearing inside furniture!
