Hamsters are not especially strong, aggressive or agile, and are wary of sudden changes in the environment.
Just remember that apart from running, hamsters have very few defenses in the wild.
And when they are, it generally means trouble for them! To wake your hamster, just speak to it in a soft voice. In the wild, hamsters spend most of their time deep, deep underground, where they’re rarely disturbed. 2: Never Wake Your Hamster Suddenly From Sleep If you use fruit-scented soap, or if you have any sort of food-like smell on your hand, your hamster will “see” your hand as food. Even dwarf hamsters, which live in groups, are subject to this. If the scent of one Syrian is on your hand when you try to pick up another Syrian, the hamster in your hand will believe it is being attacked by the other hamster. If you have several Syrian hamsters it is especially important to wash your hands before picking up each one. 1: Always Wash Hands Before Picking Up Your Hamster These four “Golden Rules” are worth memorizing, or copying and posting somewhere near the hamster cage : Rule No. Taming a hamster to make it “hand-friendly” requires a good deal of patience. Larger Syrian hamsters are more amenable to holding than dwarf hamsters, on the whole, but all will live longer, happier lives if you create a nurturing environment for them. It’ll take discipline, but the first thing you should do is avoid the urge to handle your new hamster for 12 to 24 hours after you first get it.
