My favourite taming method is emotional blackmailing. You hold your bitten and bloody finger near the nest and say "This...this is what you did to me, you little bastard. All I have ever done is love you. How could you do this to me?"

vonvonbear AJ it’s like 2 big needles going into your finger, it’s more painful because it’s such a shock. It doesn’t hurt for long but it’s a similar sensation to biting your tongue or cheek or banging your elbow - really painful for a few seconds then it goes away. Do what this lady says and you will be fine. Even if you get bitten it’s worth it in the end :)

Danielle A ok thank you very much I will try to hold her now

It took an entire year for my hamster to become completely tame. The progress was amazing and so, so rewarding. I know that an entire year seems ridiculous, but my hamster was very stubborn, and I wasn't fully educated about taming at that time. Although, now, he is always happy to get out of his cage, and will happily and willingly take food out of my hand. I'm very satisfied with the progress we have made together. Good luck to any owners trying to tame your hamsters!

Thanks! Now my hamster is tame enough to watch tv with me on the bed

He was the last hamster ( Syrian ) and I know why... I felt so bad because he was grey with red eyes. But not normal... he was such a little angel to me, he was very timid, but now he's getting tame-er! I love him so much, and his name is milkshake, because of his cherry eyes!

I have a dwarf hamster, I just got him a few weeks ago, literally on Christmas Eve Day so .. I haven't had him for long. And already, he has trusted me, I have picked him up & hold him. I already reach my hand in his cage & he has never once, bitten me. I think I got really lucky. He already lays with me in my lap or in my coat pocket. He'll lay for hours, I haven't trained him to do anything. He'll even sit there, on my lap & hasn't peed or pooped on me at all. He's a good boy.

hey Erin... I got a syrian hamster back in September.. I watched EVERY hamster video you have, and I have to say, all of your tips worked! My little fur baby loves to be played with, and held... this "how to" video helped so much! Thank you so much for all your informative videos

2:00 Is she using a whimzee chew? 🤣

Love being called a bobbington!😂

3 days was the magic number, since we got her she hasn't had a lick of contact and has always run into her tube when she saw us. But today when I opened the lid to put in more food she came right out. I grabbed a piece of food from her dish and with a flat palm put it on my index finger. She took it with almost no hesitation. I was able to finish fixing her cage up and bring my arm in and out and she never ran. She even let me have my hand near her while she stuffed her cheeks

I'm so happy right now, I got a hamster a week ago. I gave it 3 days before starting the taming process and today I was able to pick it up and even make her walk in my hands. I had her in the taming cage (which is a homemade playground) and after playing around and find all the hidden seeds she asked me to take my hand down, she got in and got down inside her cage 🥰 so adorable with just one month old and 7 days living with me 🥰

once i had done just giving my hammy 1 treat for like a week, i put some treats in my hand and she crawled up my arm

Are those little tooth brushes the dog treat ones? Im a new owner of a wonderful dwarf hamster and I'm still learning. I've read in places that you can give them dog treats as chew toys. Which ones should I get? I'm always worried about him not chewing enough so most of his treats are "hard" (meant for hamsters tho). Only soft treat he has is the berry flavored yogurt drops which he LOVES.

Some hamsters are just naturally friendly. Just make sure that your hamster doesn't think you are a piece of food. Give them a salt lick and for sure some hamster chews. Just continue the taming process, just to be sure. Do it for about 3 weeks. Be patient, just to make sure your hamster is ready.

Thank you for this useful info, I'm about to be a first time hamster owner, so this is really helpful!

Hi Erin! I know this video is old, but I recently adopted a robo hamster that had been returned to the petshop. He has some neurological issues from poor breeding, and as a result, is one of the most skittish hamsters I've ever seen! I tried taming for the first few months I had him, but never got past the "taking treats I leave at the opening to his den" phase. He's so terrified of my hands that even during his health checks he panics dramatically (tries to launch himself from my grasp). This is my third hamster and I've never experienced something like this. I understand that every hamster is different, and because he's so uncomfortable being handled I try to avoid it unless absolutely necessary. Do you have any advice for this situation? Or at very least a method I could use to make his health checks feel less traumatic for him :/ I feel terrible having to stress him out.

@babygirlincorporated

I know in not Erin, but my hamster was very skittish for a Syrian. I think you should try an extra step that I used. It's not the *best* but what I did was put my hand in the cage and let her see me put down a treat near her. She seemed to be more comfortable with taking treats from me after this step. I know though, that all hamsters are different and this may not work, but it might be worth a try :)

I love her voice, and the tips are very helpful thank you :)

Erin, thank you so much for posting this. After "hamstersitting" for a good friend of mine a few times, he could tell how much I loved the hamster (a Syrian), so he let me adopt him. My friend's hamster kinda lived a punk rock lifestyle lol, but he was generally well cared for. I wished I had seen this tutorial sooner because it was only through trial and error that the hamster and I bonded. He still lets me know through chirps of disgust that he's the boss....lol :D

Thank you for this video! I got my hamster, "Gnome" almost a year ago and I am really ashamed that I haven't been taking care of him that much. I have barley handled him, or cleaned his cage very often. I told my mom this, and she that "It's never to late to make a change." So yesterday, I cleaned his cage using all of the tips from you and HoppingHammy. Right now I'm handling him with gloves in case he bites, but to my surprise, he hasn't once tried to bite the gloves. I even set him down on my thin cotton pajama pants that I am wearing, and he never tried to bite. He seems very very sweet. If I think he's ready, I'm going to take off the gloves quite soon, and really start taking great care of him. I want him to have a good life, and know that I really love him. Thanks again! :)

+Brieea Shawnfield Hi! I just wanted to thank you for your luck! I took the gloves off today, and to my surprise, he is one of the sweetest hamsters I've ever owned! He didn't try to bite me once! Thanks again :)

this vid was really helpful! My hamster Truffles is always happy to greet me now :3

Thanks so much for this video it's helped me a lot 💗

My hamster didn't need tamed, she was really good and wasn't at all shy of me, she is definitely my fave pet

Omg this is so helpful thank you

good tips

This helped so much!

very informative! ty

awesome this is the perfect way to tame them!

thank you so much for the tips. I am at a stage now when my hamster would let me stroke him while he eats his treat so hopefully by keeping at it I will have a tame hamster this time.

Thank you for the great videos! I just brought 2 Hamsters home and this is helpful, I think I was moving too fast...

Love your videos

OMG I love your Skyrim tee-shirt!

Thanks for all tips, it helped me to buy the right hamster for me and to take care of him. I'm sure it will help me always. :D xoxo

my hamster is only calm for 1 minute. the moment she's really awake she's going nuts trying to run everywhere xD

hi erin! so i got my hamster 4 days ago and i'm going to tame him when i'm get home! what if i give it food but then bites my finger instead? i was moving his hideout and just bit me randomly

thanks for helping

Oh dear. I've done skipped part 1 and went straight to step 2 by putting treats on my open palm and waiting for my winters to climb on and take it. It works, and they rarely bite, but I'm wondering if that'll be a problem later?

I just adopted a so called aggressive Campbells dwarf from the pet store. It was being kept in the back. He was barely weaned in my opinion because I’ve had many hamsters & he was still so small. After I let him settle in for 5 days I begin putting a nibble of cereal bar in my hands and he is not aggressive at all. He even lets me & my 6 yr old pet him as he eats. This week we will move on to picking up. He is in a 110 qt bin but after the taming process he will have a detolf set up for him. As we already have a Robo in the already built detolf. I think someone bought him as a pet for a young child. They got nipped at and they immediately returned him. So glad I was able to get him. He such a cutie. All grey with white feet. Not ur usual Campbells coloring. I think he may be a hybrid..
