A trained hamster, who quietly sits in his arms and climbs on his shoulder, causes affection and admiration. Teaching a hamster tricks is a feasible task, although it requires a certain time. And it happens that the hamster is so wild that it does not even allow you to clean the cage: it rushes and bites. In this case, it also needs to be brought up, and we'll tell you how to tame the hamster to your hands.
It is best to deal with young hamsters, because they learn faster. No breed is trained as quickly as you can quickly tame a dzhungar hamster. Although the breed, by and large, does not affect anything, as to tame a Syrian hamster , Dzhungar or any other, you will need only your patience, and there are no untrained hamsters.
We act cautiously
Hamsters are very poorly seen, so they do not remember visual images, but sounds and smells. Before classes, wash your hands (if you smell like food, there is a great chance of getting bitten), possibly abstaining from soap with a pungent odor and perfume. Rub in the hands of the filler for the cage - so the more chances to get off for a hamster "for one's own". Put the food on the floor of the cage, and your hand next to it. If you are afraid of bites, you can wear a glove for garden work. First, the hamster will get you into desperation, but it will soon get used to and will approach your hand. You can iron a hamster, but only on the back. Soon he will stop being afraid, and he can be started to feed directly from his hand.
During feeding, talk quietly with a hamster, call him by name, and after a few weeks of regular training he will learn how to come to your call.
When you already have a hand hamster, you can take it out of the cage. Do this carefully, covering the hamster back with the palm of the second hand. Be careful: for rodents, falling from a height can be fatal. And it is better not to let the little children during the hamster's training - they can harm him, and he will lose confidence.
That's all simple rules how to make a hamster tame.
