Our hamster, Stoid, RIP, used to bite when we didnt let her out for a few days. I used to wear leather gloves till she calmed down in a day or two.

Now I pick up my pets up in a long tube. I never force them on my hands i sit on the floor with a tub of munchies on me and they run on me. and I feed them treats from my hands. Eventually they will be happy being picked up but I always but my hands down after so they can escape. They will start to feel hands are treats and lifts. And we let them run on the inside of our dressing gowns if the waists is tide.

If your rodent climbes on you by there choise it loves you. Stoid allways ran over us across the sofa. Ike the gerbil wouldnt go on hands but would sit on your shoulder. 117 and 118 degus ran in dressing gown when young then slept on you as they got older. Jarhead sits on me for treats and nicks my hazelnuts. They all show you they care in their own way.
