How do you tame a Chinese hamster?

== == Even these little creatures have their own individual personalities and some hamsters loved to be handled or run up and down their owner while others don't. When hibernation time comes they may get a little moody and just want to rest. You need to pick up a book at a pet store or go on the internet to learn more about Hamster's habits. It may take patience and not too much handling right off the bat so your hamster can get use to you. Many people are afraid of hamsters because you simply do not know if they are going to bite, or wriggle away, before handling him/her, wash your hands with soap and warm water to get rid of food smells. Hamsters eyesight is extremely poor, so they use their nose to find food, so if your hand smells like food they are likely to bite it. If you are frightened just take a deep breath. Then place your hand inside their cage and gently cup your hands around him/her. Lift them out of their cage, corner of a part of a room with boxes, or items that your hamster will not be able to climb over, and make sure this space is big enough for you and your hamster. Sit inside the space and let go of the hamster, and every now and then pick him/her up,like you did when you got him/her out of the cage, and bring them back near to you. This way they do not run off, and they get used to your handling to them. Lay little treats out in this space too so they can eat, and feed them little treats too so they know you do not want to harm them, but you want to care for them. I know this may sound silly, but talk to them too, don't shout, just use a soft,calm voice, and they will soon get used to your voice, which will make them more comfortable around you. Do this as much as you can, the more you do it, the more they will get used to you. However, do not wake them up to handle them because they will then get grumpy, and they are then more prone to bite you.
