Guide To Taming Your Hamster!
Hamsters are often accused of being mean and nasty, esecially Dwarfs! Sometimes this is true because they are allowed to become wild, but this situation can be avoided, or cured with a few easy steps!
After a short amount of time of no contact with humans, dwarf hamsters become untame. To avoid this, you MUST handle your hamster at least once every two weeks. Unlike dwarfs, once Syrian hamsters are tame, they are tame for life. Because dwarfs have not been domesticated nearly as long as Syrians, they have a tendency of losing their tameness if they aren't held often enough. If a dwarf becomes untame, just repeat these steps! For Syrians, only need to do this once!! LUCKY!!
