My friend had a hamster like this once. Are you using pine or cedar chips? The smell of these chips cause hamsters to find agitated and bite. I recommend aspen bedding.
An influential thing to do is to not be demanding. Do not force your hamster to you. He will come to you. Start by petting him when you give him a treat. Also, if you close the drain of your tub, sit in it with him. No joke. Let him run around contained by it with you. He will get used to your scent and face> There you go
Answers: I think your hamster has have some bad experiences with humans in days gone by. That's why he is scared and "evil" (although a hamster is never evil!). I think you should calm down. Let him a short time ago be. He has to learn that humans aren't dangerous. Try only talking to him and sit in front of his cage. Approach him slowly and collaborate in a soothing voice. Also be calm, as hamsters can sense your mood. don't do anything more for a couple of weeks. when giving him food do so slowly and talk to him soothingly. that road he won't be scared when you give him food, and will know that you=food =). After a while, rub your hand surrounded by his saw dust so you smell hamster. then put a treat between your fingers, through the bars. If he has lots of food surrounded by his bowl, he might not eat from your fingers. so do this before you feed him and when he have woken up. Maybe the cage is in a particularly ear-splitting room. move it to a quieter place, as noise will stress him.
When he eats the food from your fingers (it can take weeks, so be forgiving!), try carefully petting him. if he ducks or runs away, stop it. Do it again, but at one remove after as maybe he'll be scared of you again.
eventually he'll come around.
and worst case, whether he doesn't, it means he's a shy kind of hamster. some hamsters like human company, but nearby are a few who don't. a hamster is generally not a cuddly pet, but some hamsters like being held others don't.
( Inflatable Person Dwarf hamsters are not mean. o_o )
Hamsters cannot be evil. Some just are not made to be held, some are. If he is biting viciously next blow on him. Hamster do not like being blown on. My hamster would bite me and I would blow on her. She never bites me only whether she is frustrated and doesn't wanna be held.
just be loving to it
good luck =)
some hamsters will never be nice... is it a dwarf? those tend to be a little mean...
Your chose a outstandingly untamed animal. He is not evil - he is afraid.
You have your work cut out for you. I suggest you put him close to your body and pet him through your clothes. Put a jacket on over a t-shirt or sweatshirt and put him under the jacket. Keep him within one place and do not let him crawl all over you. Talk to him the whole time. Start out beside 5 minutes of cuddling and increase it as you can.
This has worked for me.
I'm not quite sure what you tight by evil but hampsters are very active when they are young. They won't lately sit with you like a guinea pig for example. I guess those little animals can have assorted personalities
just like we do as culture. Just keep on trying to hold him and talk to him i think things will gain better.
Good Luck
