how do you pick up a dwarf hamster!:(

Question
i need help because every time i try to pick my hamster up it tries to bite and I'm scared!T-T so hurry and answer back! hurry! how do you even pick up a fast dwarf hamster anyway and its always awake! help!

Answer
It tries to bite because it's not used to you.  Try to her to eat rasins or another treat from your hand.  To pick her up, gently scoop her up by placing your hands on either side of her body.  Alternatively, pick her up using one hand to scoop under her belly keeping your thumb on top of her neck/head.  If she still won't let you get her, try to get her to crawl into her house (igloo, box, whatever she sleeps in) or a tube first and then just gently pet her so she can get used to you.

Hope this helps!
