Question
hi my honey bear hamster bit me twice and i have read way for
taming her but im always to scared she'll bit me again is there a
way i could tame her without using hands i tried but she went to
my hand not the food what should i do? and i have another
question she always trying to chew her age but shes in a aquaium
cage how do i make her stop?

Answer

      There is no way to tame her without holding her except if you get someone else to hold her, which I dont recommend. You can't make her stop chewing on her cage, because just like humans, hamsters do what they want to do.

Thanks for writing
