    mean little hamster

    I got a winter white hamster a few months ago and at first he was friendly, now he bites me every time i go near him. I cant even change out his food dish without him freaking out on me. Does any one have any suggestions on how to get my little guy nice again??

    You came to the wrooooooong forum, sorry to say. To us, hamsters are foodz

    But in all seriousness, have you tried short handling sessions, perhaps with gloves?

    Hamsters have been so severely inbred, it's nearly impossible to find one that doesn't have issues of some sort.

    My advice? Get a rat. They make much better pets.
