Hamster treats party: ruclips.net/video/Tw_qcaN01Wk/видео.html 1. Wait until they eat treats from you 2. Use the back of your hand 3. Bite dodging practice 4. Profit Good luck 🐹
Totally agree that sometimes the ones from pet shops are difficult to tame because they might have been handled roughly in the shop. I had one that used to roar at me with jazz hands on hind legs. I called him "Hamzilla" :)
i work at a pet store and a lot of the time they show up already stressed out and defensive. I usually try my best to make them feel more comfortable and trusting so that it's easier for whoever get's them but there's only so much we can do.
@xeno5384 I took my kids "just to look" at the pet store the other day. There was 1 single teddy bear hammy there, we asked to hold her and right away she did a little yawn and stretch and made herself comfy in my hands. She did try to nibble my finger but it was gentle and she only tried once, lol. Long story short, $200 later we have the sweetest, most cuddly litter hamster I've ever met! I honestly can't believe how timid and trusting she was right away. I bet the employees at the store were like you and must have tried to handle her often. She's awesome! 🐹
Yes ,agree got my hammy from a local pet store when he was a baby , he was very aggressive , skittish , defensive, now after quite a while he's calmer more trusting just with me only .nobody else .no idea what hamster mill he came from or what he went thru as a baby ..
If you were young you probably just slept through his sleep and wake cycles Some hams wake in the evening, some much later My hamster wakes up from as late as 11:00 pm sometimes and goes to sleep before 7 am
This is one of the best taming guides I’ve seen! From my experience I know that you’re right: they are all different so you need to be prepared for anything. With Ringo I found practicing holding her in the bathtub (no water in it) with a blanket to cushion jumps was helpful. Others ranged from being immediately tame to taking most of their life to get used to me, depending on the species. My Robo named Bon Jovi took the longest.
@@Timmy_kimberr thanks! The bathtub idea was from an old Victoria Rachael video, so I can’t take credit for it. It has worked with my current Syrian though! The only thing is to make sure all drains are completely covered/shut.
I've had 5 hamsters: 1: zinky. syrian. never bit, slow walker but always on the move. not super interactive. 2: George. syrian. never bit, always on the move but very interactive & sometimes enjoyed a cuddle. he had absence seizures where he would freeze & be confused for hours. 3. lexy. dwarf hamster adopted at 5 months. really shy at first but became my friend, she used me as climbing apparatus. she licked and nibbled my hand a lot for some reason. 4. cinnamon. dwarf hamster. very hit and miss. unpredictable & would often attack me even after 5 months of taming, so I decided not to put my scary hands near her. 5. ginger. dwarf hamster. very sweet and responds to my voice & his name. is cool with handling, likes sleeping in shoes, & won't bite me unless he thinks my hands smell tasty. has lymphatic cancer :'( every now and again he gets freaked out by something (he's SO sensitive to change) and then he becomes war hammy, attack and don't let go of finger hammy
I have had many hamsters, my eldest Barty was 4 yrs when he passed away looked after him until the end the bond myself and children had with him a great big fluffy bundle of joy he was.. ❤
I've got a pet from pets at home, and indeed they are not very tame and even now when my hamster is about a year old, she is a very cautious and nervously hamster, and we've just started to get her out of the cage (without a ball) and I hole this video helps us to bond more! Thank you for all your wonderful advise!
Some hamsters may take longer and lot of patience. I rescued an aggressive chinese black one 6 months ago. He still bites sometimes, but after 6 months he finally eats from my hand and let me handle him. Longest and definitely most satisfying taming process so far :)
This is wonderful! So many handy tips, and tricks. A dwarf Campbell hybrid I had called Scarlett was an unholy terror to the shop clerks and would attack at every opportunity she got. I fell in love with her and brought her home. She turned out to be one of the sweetest hamsters I ever had, and lived for almost two and a bit years before dying of old age. I miss her.
When I had my first hamster it took 1 week for him to get familiar with the place, but he was still afraid of me and my mother. Once we got a "wife" for him, the next day he was completely affectionate to both of us and gladly accepted to be picked up, eat from our hands and play! He was completely different from how he behaved only the day before! Maybe the other one told him something😂
@@salty9472 We treated our hamsters the best we could. Even if we had cages, before having an entire big family, the first two actually had a lot of freedom (obviously even kids and great great nieces and nephews had their free time). We would let both of them roam around the living room and kitchen for as long as they wanted, and they would always let us know when they wanted to return to their cage or have attention before exploring the living room again. When the kids arrived (fun fact, the first and second pregnancy happened both outside the cage, under our lounge chair😂), we would give each of them a couple of hours slot to roam around, and by the time we got more pregnancies, we also added the corridor and the bathroom as exploration sites but separated from each other, so they could go 2 at a time (or 4 if brothers and sisters) in each zone (without killing each other if a female found another female from a different generation, same for males) and let all 30 of them have their exploration time slot everyday. One day tho, one of them managed to pass over the box barries we used to separate the rooms, and since I lived in the factory's caretakers apartment above the offices (with the factory being behind it - and yes, me and my parents were caretakers for this place), this one lucky hamster did a complete tour of the factory and parking space (luckily over the weekend when no one worked), and as soon as he found my mother cleaning the offices, he asked to *immediately* have food and go back home in the cage! We had them checked with the vet every now and then, and the vet was always surprised of how healthy all of them were thanks to our care. He also said that me and my mother were the only ones who treated them in the best way possible compared to the other owners he knew and helped in the past (both from our town and the other places he used to work), especially because we managed to let them live longer than the average (more than 3 years). And the first hamster I took, he almost reached the current world record for the oldest hamster to live (the record is 4.5 years, our was 4.4 years)
@@Ryuuko-chan i think the person was trying to say that you shouldn't house hamsters in the same habitat because they're territorial and cannibalistic.
ive had my hamster(s) for 21 days now, i might try the first step on the weekend and follow all the stuff! thank you! Update: My hamsters now have a special bond Tip: When u pet ur hampter do not pet immediately. You must reach slow then pets your hampter
showing them the back of your hand is really smart. I've had mine for a couple weeks now and she bites a lot but this could be really helpful to tame her
@@miffy286 unfortunately it didn't go well. We never could get past the biting and she passed a month back. I don't know what her past was like, it's possible she had a negative experience that shaped her perception of people. I tried some gloves briefly but even then she ran or bit. I've heard that biting is normal though, as long as it doesn't draw blood and isn't excessive, you should have success by keeping at it. I've also heard that getting syrians from reputable breeders makes them mostly tame and doesn't give you much work, so if that's not the case with your current hammy, it might be worth looking into in the future.
@@miffy286 Thank you for that. I'm planning on looking into a syrian breeder in the future, once I get a place and have room for a detolf. It's amazing how ethically bred hamsters are usually ready to be handled the second they get home. I'm sure it'll be a nice contrast
This helped a lot as i just got a hamster the other day from a pet shop He is quite young(7 weeks old) and was a bit nervous at first but i followed this video and held him for the first time last night so i just want to say thank you !
Thank you for this totally terrific taming guide I've watched it over and over. Thank you so much for all you do for the hamsters in your care you are very inspirational to me and so many others xxx
my hammy bit my mom yesterday and she’s never bitten me, i think she was associating me with giving her food and when i presented my moms hand to her she sniffed it and then was like oh this is food yes? i eat now
I adopted my hamster who was left behind by its owner. After months of hand feeding snacks, my hamster will gladly hop onto my hand and arm. But, he now likes to nibble my fingers.
Mine just passed a few days ago… it is quite a painful loss. Hamsters live around 2 years, a bit longer if you’re lucky. Mine was 2 years 5 months and he was such a sweetheart
Thank you so much for the helpful tips! I love all animals and it’s crazy that when we got my daughters hamster a month ago now, I was already doing all these things with him! My friend said wow you got a good hamster! And I said yeah it took a little time and patience, he really is the sweetest hamster and I’m glad I got him for my daughter (and myself😉😊). I learned a few new things
Really helpful, I have tamed my 5 hamsters and one got pregnant, it was hard to tame those little once since I never really touched them that much. Slowly one of them is starting be friends with me :)
I got a hamster a few days ago. The petco employee informed my hamster is a shy timid girl and that she’s really vocal about it. She squeals loudly like a pig… during these past two days, I just been only putting my hands in her cage to put food in her bowl. I do baby talk to her while she does whatever she feels like doing. I ended up naming her Eevee, because I feel that this name suits her. Lastly, thank you for posting this video. I’ll be sure to keep these tips in mind when I’m ready to start taming her. Eevee is my first hamster so I want to introduce myself without stressing her out.
My new Russian hamster tries to bite every time I go near him. Even if I hold a treat in my fingers he will climb up the treat just so he can bite! The other Russian one is fine and our 2 Syrians are totally tame and walks onto our hands like the ones in this video ❤
Tysm!I have a hamster called mango and as soon as a few days past with him I was showing my finger tips to him and he would bite but now it works just fine with the back of my hand and he doesn't bite and yes practice makes perfect:) thank you!
2 and a half years ago this video really helped sadly my hamster got put down yesterday but thank you for the amazing video without this i wouldnt have been able to get as close to my hamster 🐹
I named my little Syrian hammy Kirby, I’m now thinking it should’ve been Sonic… He doesn’t mind being picked up to be put in his play pen or will take a treat from me but other than that he never stays still 😂 I’m not sure he’d ever sit on my hand for a treat because my shoulders are just too interesting to not climb apparently!
I've had my syrian for 3 months and he's still terrified of me. i've tried everything. every single time he recognizes my scent he either hides in his burrow or goes to his wheel. he does not eat treats from my hand. one time i tried staying absolutely still for about one hour while holding a carrot (his favorite). he waited for me to leave it at his enclosure so he could eat it. i don't know what else to do :(
You can try to use the "little and often" approach (i.e. when he is awake, interact with him more frequently but for a shorter period). You can also try the "hamster taxi" method as mentioned at 4:11 to speed up the process. It may take longer but you will be fine once he got familiar/bored with your scent :)
Buy some gloves my old hampster was the same I got gloves and when ever she was awake and I was just chilling in my room i would take the top of the cage of and leave it for her to come out then I'd put my hand in there with glove on and she would sniff it took about 2 weeks for her to stop bitting and come to me when ever I was getting her out but defo try this
These are some great tips! I got my new hammy a few days ago and I’m quickly realizing I’m gonna need to use a different approach. I was able to tame my first hammy (Wayne) within a few weeks on him being home. But my new hammy Russell is very skittish and likes to bite :/. Which Wayne rarely did, this is definitely a lesson to me. Every hammy is different. Anyways thanks for the helpful tips!
This was helpful! owo My little baby robo was already good with me from the first day on but after I watched your video me and her became even more close uwu Thank youuu 🐹
I remember when my jazzy jazz bit my mom after coming home from eating seafood. My mom went to put her finger on the bars to baby talk her while my baby was climbing. She bit my mom and drew blood. Anywho. I picked her up n said " ohh you should know better than to bite grandma!!"💖💖💖 but my mom wasn't mad lol. She probably smelled the crab on my moms fingers:)
I was looking for this video ! Though, I have two hamsters who came from the same breeder, and as you said in the video, some may be easier to tame than others, so one of my hamsters was very easy to tame, and was very friendly. Yet my other one, is very shy and scared, and hates any human interaction. I’ve tried everything, but he still does not like going on my hand. It’s been around 10 months, he has gotten a bit more socialised, but he still needs slow treatment.
I use treats a lot with my hammy, even though he is fully tame and such a sweetheart, I have always taught him "if u does good thing, u gets treat :))"
I got lucky for my first hammy from the pet store, she was easy to tame, she let us hold her when we first got her. My 2nd one i got she is scared and is hard to tame!!! I been working on trust for 3 weeks with a slight improvement , she will go into my hand but she gets scared fast so she jumps back into her cage so i cant pick her up far
I didn't even need to tame my first hamster because of how calm she was. Maybe it's because the workers interacted with her but idk if the breeder did, she's almost a year old now or a year I lost track but I know I've had her for a while now and I can only assume for a year or almost since I told my friends that I was getting her in September 2020 and 2021 is almost over.
@@kissingthehomies they grow up so fast 😭 n i think a majority of breeders interact with their hamsters so they are calm with humans. Mines was from petsmart n the lady did say before covid they did interact with them but since covid they stopped. I wanna get one from a breeder but not many around me
@@Aquadecember23 I got my hamster from a petsmart since most of the breeder websites online were old the hamsters listed were dead. But apparently the petsmart I got her from gets their animals from a local breeder so I feel less bad about it since I'm not supporting a mill I just wish that I could find the breeder myself to see how he/she treats the animals.
@@Aquadecember23 Yeah they honestly do grow up so fast! I got her when she was a baby so when I found out that I had her for more then two months I realized that she was an adult now, but she will always be a baby to me because of how small and adorable she is 😂.
ahh! I love seeing the paper roll haha. my hamster just didn't like hands in her enclosed AT ALL. When I first got her, i didn't have money for a tank or a big enclosed space yet, so i had the cheap wire cage. I would open that to let her out and she'd climb out of her own will if she wanted to wander or roam. However, after about 2-ish months of this, I had saved up enough to get her a new enclosure. Since this was a new treat, and a new homefor her, we had to find a way around my hand not being in her space, since she just didn't like it. The paper roll was the best thing, and she'd preemptively scurry to it whenever I'd come home from work when she wanted to be picked up. It was so cute haha! She used to "claw" at the glass seeing me come in too cuz she'd get excited to see me, I loved having her as a pet while she was alive. I'm hoping to get another little hamster again eventually.
Haha so funny when he/she tried to jump outside😂. Also thank ypu for this video. I always thought my hamster was biting me when she ”nibbles” but apparently that is normal.
I got a hamster yesterday! It sniffed my hand hehe 😊! It is from the pet store but I think it’s a bit calmer. It’s called Mr Bean! (Bean for short). It’s a white Syrian hamster with grey spots! When I come in my room I say “It’s okay you don’t need to worry!:)” Then I just lay in my bed and watch cute little hamsters 😊💗 Right now it is sleeping (current time is 6:26)!
My hammy had settled in and besides for changing her food dish and water she wasn't getting near my hand. She's also been trying to nibble but I finally got her to climb onto my hand and eat out of my hand! This was so helpful, thank you!
Thank you so much ✨ I just got a hamster 2 days ago and I was wondering how I could tame my hamster (don’t worry I do know that when your hámster’s new you should let it alone for a couple of days) but thank you so much for the amazing video ❤️
I remember when my hamster likes to BITE both sides (back and front of my hands) of my hands and make my fingers bleed NON-STOP.. It happen 5 times only with 1 hamster. Now I have a trauma and scared trying this... But it did help me and it tamed my other hamsters! (I put sand on my hand sometimes XD) Thank you @KumaQQ, Your one of the best hamster adviser! Hope you always stay healthy and safe! (like my comment please :'D )
i had a hamster when i was 5 and i named him steve. i don’t even know how i did it but i trained him to poop on ppl 😭. I remember i used to get ready with him every morning before i went to school and we would take naps. his favorite spot to sleep was on my chest. It has been so many years and i want one again 😂. It’s funny how i was only 5 literally in kindergarten and i tamed my hamster just by love and care. so at 18 i think i can do that again 😭
Наш хомяк до сих пор в клетку не пускает нас, он пугается пищит, если снять верх клетки тогда могу взять на руки. Спасибо вам за видео очень интересно наблюдать ☺❤
@@madisynburrus i use a cup to catch them. Let them get inside the cup and move it to other box while i clean their cage. Don't push them it's only make them scared more, you need patient here 😂
So I only saw this after getting my hamsters I’ve been having them for close to a year now, I got them from a pet store and one is really defensive I can’t hold it or try to feed it from my hand because it always bites and I don’t know what to do I got 2 that were already together in the pet store so that one won’t get lonely, one is really nice and let’s me hold it whilst the other is really mean, they are not mean to each-other though.
KummaQQ I would recommend you use towel paper cut in little pieces because all of the rest are not healthy for hamsters. Also papers that are printed with ink and colors are also bad.
I use hemp, spruce and tissue :) Spruce wood shaving is considered safe in the UK and Germany as it should be kin-dried and dust-extracted before selling (by law). If you live elsewhere, please do some research before using wood shavings for your little buddies. 😊
@@KumaQQ Ooh I see. Then in that case you are totally right. Yeah, the country I live in does not follow those safety measures. I'll make sure to research further. Thx a ton!😊
thanks for this! my sister bought a hamster and it bit me, so i assumed it wasn't for me to care for, but they're so cute and i can't resist them, so i'll attempt to follow this instructions and make friends with those cuties once more~
My hamster pudgy, passed away a few days before Christmas. My lovely mother got me another for Christmas! Pudgy was old and about 2-3 years old! My new ones name is marigold, Mari for short. She’s super small I hope she gets bigger. She’s sweet but I’m worried she won’t like me. I’ve left her alone so she can get used to everything. But she’s not even exploring her huge cage! Do you think she’s just nervous?

@@miffy286 Thank you for that. I'm planning on looking into a syrian breeder in the future, once I get a place and have room for a detolf. It's amazing how ethically bred hamsters are usually ready to be handled the second they get home. I'm sure it'll be a nice contrast
This helped a lot as i just got a hamster the other day from a pet shop
He is quite young(7 weeks old) and was a bit nervous at first but i followed this video and held him for the first time last night so i just want to say thank you !
Thank you for this totally terrific taming guide I've watched it over and over. Thank you so much for all you do for the hamsters in your care you are very inspirational to me and so many others xxx
My hamster started comming into my hand on the second day and I got her from the pet store. I recommend that u feed her treats through hand
my hammy bit my mom yesterday and she’s never bitten me, i think she was associating me with giving her food and when i presented my moms hand to her she sniffed it and then was like oh this is food yes? i eat now
Ouch but lol.
Maybe it was due to unfamiliar scent
I love your hamsters! ( btw the one u took out of the box looked one of my baby’s hamsters tho)
Great way to start the morning, with hamster videos ☺️
I adopted my hamster who was left behind by its owner. After months of hand feeding snacks, my hamster will gladly hop onto my hand and arm. But, he now likes to nibble my fingers.
Lol😂
my hamster died today 😔 I think I lost my world. I can't go to the place where I burried her. I love to believe that she is alive.💖
Normally, how long can a hamster stay with u?
Mine just passed a few days ago… it is quite a painful loss. Hamsters live around 2 years, a bit longer if you’re lucky. Mine was 2 years 5 months and he was such a sweetheart
@@jessicajones7143 ☹their lifespan is too short. But mine was just 8 months.
@@jessicajones7143 sorry for ur loss. A nice pet is the best friend a lonely soul can find. So I do understand ur pain…
@@jessicajones7143 Hamster lives that short? Mine stayed for 4 years-
This video is so helpful, now I can train Petal (the hamster) much better than I did before 🐹
Thank you so much for the helpful tips! I love all animals and it’s crazy that when we got my daughters hamster a month ago now, I was already doing all these things with him! My friend said wow you got a good hamster! And I said yeah it took a little time and patience, he really is the sweetest hamster and I’m glad I got him for my daughter (and myself😉😊). I learned a few new things
Glad it was helpful!
Really helpful, I have tamed my 5 hamsters and one got pregnant, it was hard to tame those little once since I never really touched them that much. Slowly one of them is starting be friends with me :)
i'm having a hamster this morning i'm tooooo excited 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆
nice! good luck taming and having fun with your new little buddy!
I got a hamster a few days ago. The petco employee informed my hamster is a shy timid girl and that she’s really vocal about it. She squeals loudly like a pig… during these past two days, I just been only putting my hands in her cage to put food in her bowl. I do baby talk to her while she does whatever she feels like doing. I ended up naming her Eevee, because I feel that this name suits her. Lastly, thank you for posting this video. I’ll be sure to keep these tips in mind when I’m ready to start taming her. Eevee is my first hamster so I want to introduce myself without stressing her out.
My new Russian hamster tries to bite every time I go near him. Even if I hold a treat in my fingers he will climb up the treat just so he can bite!
The other Russian one is fine and our 2 Syrians are totally tame and walks onto our hands like the ones in this video ❤
I got a Russian hamster for my birthday Sunday ! And she is very nice but sometimes she nibbles on my finger when they have the scent of her treat
Thank you so much for these training tips these are some of the best training tips I’ve seen
Very interesting and useful video! You are very interesting to watch! Amazing 🐹🥰
I ❤ your channel. You are very funny and i spend most of my time watching your uploads
Tysm!I have a hamster called mango and as soon as a few days past with him I was showing my finger tips to him and he would bite but now it works just fine with the back of my hand and he doesn't bite and yes practice makes perfect:) thank you!
That moment when you feel that your hamster trusts you, is one of the most rewarding sensations a human being is able to feel.
1:17 thanks for this, i thought my hamster following me around was cute until i put my fingers in the cage and he bit me lol
so funny when you said killing spree
Recently we were complimented by a vet for how tame and healthy our hamster was, so we must be doing something right :)
Thats for sure 👍
2 and a half years ago this video really helped sadly my hamster got put down yesterday but thank you for the amazing video without this i wouldnt have been able to get as close to my hamster 🐹
I named my little Syrian hammy Kirby, I’m now thinking it should’ve been Sonic… He doesn’t mind being picked up to be put in his play pen or will take a treat from me but other than that he never stays still 😂 I’m not sure he’d ever sit on my hand for a treat because my shoulders are just too interesting to not climb apparently!
Thank you so much. I'm getting one today. And these tips will be very helpful and again thank you and have a good day
Omg yes I got one today :D they are so cute! My older one died a few days ago though :( but he lived a good life ❤
@@lifewmia12 oh I'm sorry to hear that but I hope you're new hamster will be special 😊
I've had my syrian for 3 months and he's still terrified of me. i've tried everything. every single time he recognizes my scent he either hides in his burrow or goes to his wheel. he does not eat treats from my hand. one time i tried staying absolutely still for about one hour while holding a carrot (his favorite). he waited for me to leave it at his enclosure so he could eat it.
i don't know what else to do :(
You can try to use the "little and often" approach (i.e. when he is awake, interact with him more frequently but for a shorter period). You can also try the "hamster taxi" method as mentioned at 4:11 to speed up the process. It may take longer but you will be fine once he got familiar/bored with your scent :)
😢
Same, i’ve had mine for 1 and a half mo ths and have never tamed mine since she’s one eyed, she always sees my hands as food😭
Buy some gloves my old hampster was the same I got gloves and when ever she was awake and I was just chilling in my room i would take the top of the cage of and leave it for her to come out then I'd put my hand in there with glove on and she would sniff it took about 2 weeks for her to stop bitting and come to me when ever I was getting her out but defo try this
Kill it, and start fresh with a new one
Can’t believe I did everything right instinctively
yes my hamster isn’t scared of my hand but always bites 😾
train it not to then lol
yes my hamster has started to become interested in eating my cuticles recently idk why LOL
mine too lol
same lol
I’m a new owner of hamster, I have Guinea pigs but have ventured to new turf, your videos are amazing! Thank you
These are some great tips! I got my new hammy a few days ago and I’m quickly realizing I’m gonna need to use a different approach. I was able to tame my first hammy (Wayne) within a few weeks on him being home. But my new hammy Russell is very skittish and likes to bite :/. Which Wayne rarely did, this is definitely a lesson to me. Every hammy is different. Anyways thanks for the helpful tips!
We love hamsters. RIP to our lovely Hamster Juice who passed in 2021 💙
Dang man what a cute trustworthy friend does ot get any better then that
I'm going to buy one on Sunday, it will be a Syrian hamster and you will be very helpful to me.
You are an angel to your hamsters. Personally I wouldn't be offended to be a KumaQQ hamster in the next life🐹
This was helpful! owo
My little baby robo was already good with me from the first day on but after I watched your video me and her became even more close uwu
Thank youuu 🐹
That’s amazing! Thank you for doing this video! I love hammys!
I remember when my jazzy jazz bit my mom after coming home from eating seafood. My mom went to put her finger on the bars to baby talk her while my baby was climbing. She bit my mom and drew blood. Anywho. I picked her up n said " ohh you should know better than to bite grandma!!"💖💖💖 but my mom wasn't mad lol. She probably smelled the crab on my moms fingers:)
I think someone stole Gundham’s Deva of destructions
I was looking for this video !
Though, I have two hamsters who came from the same breeder, and as you said in the video, some may be easier to tame than others, so one of my hamsters was very easy to tame, and was very friendly. Yet my other one, is very shy and scared, and hates any human interaction. I’ve tried everything, but he still does not like going on my hand. It’s been around 10 months, he has gotten a bit more socialised, but he still needs slow treatment.
I tamed my hamster in 2 weeks!! Thank you, I was expecting for it to be a month!!
I use treats a lot with my hammy, even though he is fully tame and such a sweetheart, I have always taught him "if u does good thing, u gets treat :))"
와 핸들링 중에 가장 좋은 영상이었어요😊 저도 모르게 홀린듯이 봤네요😂😂 좋은 정보 감사합니다❤
I got lucky for my first hammy from the pet store, she was easy to tame, she let us hold her when we first got her. My 2nd one i got she is scared and is hard to tame!!! I been working on trust for 3 weeks with a slight improvement , she will go into my hand but she gets scared fast so she jumps back into her cage so i cant pick her up far
I didn't even need to tame my first hamster because of how calm she was. Maybe it's because the workers interacted with her but idk if the breeder did, she's almost a year old now or a year I lost track but I know I've had her for a while now and I can only assume for a year or almost since I told my friends that I was getting her in September 2020 and 2021 is almost over.
@@kissingthehomies they grow up so fast 😭 n i think a majority of breeders interact with their hamsters so they are calm with humans. Mines was from petsmart n the lady did say before covid they did interact with them but since covid they stopped. I wanna get one from a breeder but not many around me
@@Aquadecember23 I got my hamster from a petsmart since most of the breeder websites online were old the hamsters listed were dead. But apparently the petsmart I got her from gets their animals from a local breeder so I feel less bad about it since I'm not supporting a mill I just wish that I could find the breeder myself to see how he/she treats the animals.
@@Aquadecember23 Yeah they honestly do grow up so fast! I got her when she was a baby so when I found out that I had her for more then two months I realized that she was an adult now, but she will always be a baby to me because of how small and adorable she is 😂.
@@kissingthehomies Facts! Theyre so soft and cute lol
I was convinced our new hamster was evil until i found this video. Thank you, we'll follow the instructions!
Огромное спасибо за такой прекрасный видеоурок по приручению хомяка, спасибо за субтитры, всё понятно стало.
👍🐹❤
My hamster Kobe like walk on my hand! It works!!😊🎉❤
I just got my hamster and I’m trying to tame her, she has bit once and nibbles sometimes defo going too try these, thanks so much🐹
ahh! I love seeing the paper roll haha. my hamster just didn't like hands in her enclosed AT ALL. When I first got her, i didn't have money for a tank or a big enclosed space yet, so i had the cheap wire cage. I would open that to let her out and she'd climb out of her own will if she wanted to wander or roam.
However, after about 2-ish months of this, I had saved up enough to get her a new enclosure. Since this was a new treat, and a new homefor her, we had to find a way around my hand not being in her space, since she just didn't like it. The paper roll was the best thing, and she'd preemptively scurry to it whenever I'd come home from work when she wanted to be picked up. It was so cute haha!
She used to "claw" at the glass seeing me come in too cuz she'd get excited to see me, I loved having her as a pet while she was alive. I'm hoping to get another little hamster again eventually.
Muito obrigada pelas legendas! Agora estou seguindo o canal💚🐹🌾
Hamsters are cute 🤩 mine is russian dwarf hamster called Snowball. 🐹
Haha so funny when he/she tried to jump outside😂. Also thank ypu for this video. I always thought my hamster was biting me when she ”nibbles” but apparently that is normal.
I got a hamster yesterday! It sniffed my hand hehe 😊! It is from the pet store but I think it’s a bit calmer. It’s called Mr Bean! (Bean for short). It’s a white Syrian hamster with grey spots! When I come in my room I say “It’s okay you don’t need to worry!:)” Then I just lay in my bed and watch cute little hamsters 😊💗 Right now it is sleeping (current time is 6:26)!
My hammy had settled in and besides for changing her food dish and water she wasn't getting near my hand. She's also been trying to nibble but I finally got her to climb onto my hand and eat out of my hand! This was so helpful, thank you!
"2:41" this part omg i thought its real
Same lmao
KumaQQ your hamsters are so cute
Thank you so much for this video! It taught me how to tame my hamster! Keep up the good work!
Glad it helped!
This Helped A LOT! 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
Thank You! 😃😊🤗🥰
🐹🐹🐹🐹🐹🐹🐹🐹🐹🐹🐹🐹🐹🐹🐹
Thank you so much ✨ I just got a hamster 2 days ago and I was wondering how I could tame my hamster (don’t worry I do know that when your hámster’s new you should let it alone for a couple of days) but thank you so much for the amazing video ❤️
Glad I could help!
I remember when my hamster likes to BITE both sides (back and front of my hands) of my hands and make my fingers bleed NON-STOP..
It happen 5 times only with 1 hamster. Now I have a trauma and scared trying this... But it did help me and it tamed my other hamsters! (I put sand on my hand sometimes XD) Thank you @KumaQQ, Your one of the best hamster adviser! Hope you always stay healthy and safe! (like my comment please :'D )
i had a hamster when i was 5 and i named him steve. i don’t even know how i did it but i trained him to poop on ppl 😭. I remember i used to get ready with him every morning before i went to school and we would take naps. his favorite spot to sleep was on my chest. It has been so many years and i want one again 😂. It’s funny how i was only 5 literally in kindergarten and i tamed my hamster just by love and care. so at 18 i think i can do that again 😭
a very good video. you can tell you really know about hamsters👍🏻
Наш хомяк до сих пор в клетку не пускает нас, он пугается пищит, если снять верх клетки тогда могу взять на руки. Спасибо вам за видео очень интересно наблюдать ☺❤
As always absolutely gorgeous.
My fudge was 2 on Wednesday xx
After 1 year i had tofu, I still can't tame her. And her offspring too. They're too scared and always run away 😂
How do you clean their cage then? Please my hamster is terrified of me and I need help I don’t know how I’m going to clean the cage please I need help
@@madisynburrus i use a cup to catch them. Let them get inside the cup and move it to other box while i clean their cage. Don't push them it's only make them scared more, you need patient here 😂
My hamster lid down in his cage as I was watching this I think it was because of the music but it was so cute!!💕💕💕
So I only saw this after getting my hamsters I’ve been having them for close to a year now, I got them from a pet store and one is really defensive I can’t hold it or try to feed it from my hand because it always bites and I don’t know what to do I got 2 that were already together in the pet store so that one won’t get lonely, one is really nice and let’s me hold it whilst the other is really mean, they are not mean to each-other though.
Hamsters are not supposed to live with other hamster
Should separate asap.. they can and definitely will fight to death. They don’t get lonely
Hamsters are solitary animals, you should separate them. They won’t get lonely don’t worry!
Thank you so much for this!
KummaQQ I would recommend you use towel paper cut in little pieces because all of the rest are not healthy for hamsters. Also papers that are printed with ink and colors are also bad.
I use hemp, spruce and tissue :)
Spruce wood shaving is considered safe in the UK and Germany as it should be kin-dried and dust-extracted before selling (by law). If you live elsewhere, please do some research before using wood shavings for your little buddies. 😊
@@KumaQQ Ooh I see. Then in that case you are totally right. Yeah, the country I live in does not follow those safety measures. I'll make sure to research further. Thx a ton!😊
Какое чудо! Сколько радости доставляют эти маленькие пушистики!
i usually stay up pretty late and my hamster really never comes out and i don’t wanna wake him up and cause stress so taming is kind of hard
thanks for this! my sister bought a hamster and it bit me, so i assumed it wasn't for me to care for, but they're so cute and i can't resist them, so i'll attempt to follow this instructions and make friends with those cuties once more~
My hamster pudgy, passed away a few days before Christmas. My lovely mother got me another for Christmas! Pudgy was old and about 2-3 years old! My new ones name is marigold, Mari for short. She’s super small I hope she gets bigger. She’s sweet but I’m worried she won’t like me. I’ve left her alone so she can get used to everything. But she’s not even exploring her huge cage! Do you think she’s just nervous?
Me gustaria saber que paso con Mari, lamento tu perdida
Thanks so much this helped a lot!
