So we adopted a baby dwarf hamster. He's incredibly friendly and will come up to bars for treats and take them out of hands, is really nosey etc. He loves his ball and loves crawling on us HOWEVER if he's in your hands he nips/bites and draws blood. It's like he nips and clings on. I now hold him with a pair of gardening clothes as it hurts so I want the protection. He is continuing this behaviour - not as much, but enough that I'm too scared to hold him with bare skin!
Any tips? My daughter has seen him bite and my reaction and she's too scared to go near him when he's out his cage.
