If hamsters (like any other pet) are handled from very young, they will be tame from the start.

A few weeks is all it took with my hamsters (and I've had a few). The best way I've found is to build a temporary play area e.g. using VCR cases as boundary walls (dvds are too thin) and put in some toilet roll tubes (for it to play) and some treats. Put the hamster in it for 15-20 minutes everyday and try holding food out to it when it's playing around in your pen, soon the hamster will associate food with you (your hands) and you can try picking it up within the play pen, but hold it low to the ground coz hamsters love to jump! Gradually the hamster will becoome less jumpy and you should be able to remove it from your play pen and viola! Tame Hamster!

there is no longer definate volume of time to tame a hamster. i've got had mine for over a 300 and sixty 5 days and he or she continues to be rather feral. She hates being dealt with and refuses to bypass away her abode while the lid of her cage is open. My dad used to reproduce hamsters and he swears by the reality that till they're dealt with from the day they're born, they gained't exchange. i presumed my hamster became into in simple terms under pressure as quickly as I first have been given her, so I gave her a great form of time to acclimate, yet she continues to be very detrimental. considering the fact which you're upset approximately your hamster's attidtude, i elect to recommend which you do no longer make him upset interior the 1st place and in simple terms permit him be. in case you have chose a puppy that loves being dealt with (hamsters are very solitary and maximum want to no longer be dealt with) then I distinctly reccomend a puppy rat, they're very social.

Everyone who says you cant and stuff they are completely wrong and don't know what the hell theyre talking about so ignore them. It can take anywhere from a few hours to a few months. Depends on the hamster.

Hamsters can't be tamed as in just like a dog. Just make it afraid of jumping by placing it on your hand and let it jump and jump and jump till it's afraid.
I would advise wearing cloth gloves when handling with them. Little but ferocious. *looks at hamster bites on hand*

Get yourself a gay hamster and watch how fast they learn to sit still and scrapbook.
