Hamsters can bite people, but this is rare. Many hamsters will bite suddenly when frightened or provoked, but this bite is not very forceful and is mainly a warning. In addition, the owner can feed the hamster more food and pet it, and slowly develop a relationship with it, so that the hamster will not bite you.

Under what circumstances will a hamster bite?

1. When hamsters are frightened or provoked, they will bite people to defend themselves when they feel they are in danger. Therefore, you should be gentle and gentle when holding your hamster.

2. The owner’s fingers have just touched the sweets, and there is still some food smell left on the fingers. When it smells something delicious, it will naturally bite it and try it.

3. If the hamster does not grind its teeth for a long time, the hamster will not be able to help but bite its hands when the owner touches them, but this possibility is very low.

4. The hamster has just arrived home and has not yet adapted to the new environment. If the owner pinches and hugs it, the hamster will bite in a frightened situation.

If the owner is accidentally bitten by a hamster, he should disinfect the wound in time, and then apply some iodine or alcohol to disinfect the wound to maintain normal blood circulation. If you are at risk of contracting the virus, you need to seek medical treatment promptly and get vaccinated.
