Question
My winter white dwarf hamster always bites my fingers and gnaws on plastic and other things. Is there a bitter spray that is safe for my hamster? If so where can i get it and how much is it typically? Oh, and what do you think about getting a female hamster for my male hamster? if they have babies can i drop them off at a pet store?

thanks,
Sophie

Answer
It would be extremely careless to simply put a male and female together. Breeding is a delicate process that should be taken seriously. Never ever breed hamsters unless you have completely researched dwarf hamster breeding and know exactly what you're doing.
