Oww!

Question
My hamster keeps biting me whenever i put my hand near it, what should i do?

Answer
Hi May,

To stop your hamster from biting your hand, go to the pet store and buy Bitter Lime Spray (or Gel).  The Bitter Lime is marketed towards ferrets, so it should be in the ferret section, and it costs less than $10.  Simply spray or rub the Bitter Lime on your hands before you handle your hamster.  If your hamster tries to bite your hand, he'll taste the Bitter Lime and be disgusted.  You may have to use the Bitter Lime a few times, but your hamster should soon stop biting your fingers.

Have a great weekend!

If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask :)
