I am surprised how quick they grow.

She was a third of her size when we got her.

I have a few questions if anybody will answer.

She is quite a nippy hamster, I put my hand in her home and let her come and sniff me (I never grab her). I always do this when she is already awake. I also thourouglly wash my hands so there is no smell of food, or the other animals.

She has drawn blood twice, the rest are just 'nips'
will she always do this? It doesnt hurt me, just makes me jump, but it is making my daughter nervous of her.

Re: Melody

Ooh I don't know. None of mine have been nippy so can't give any experienced advice on that! With the rats I know they did when they were young but not as they got older. So maybe it's a patience thing. But may be best not to let your daughter handle her as if she bites her it might put ehr off handling her in the future.

Re: Melody

My daughter has only handled her once. I told her to wait a while, when Melody is more tame it will be a nicer experience. She loves watching her in her ball, and cleaning her out. She also helps me feed and water her.

Yes I am being patient and hoping she grows out of it.

Re: Melody

Melody is beautiful and I adore the name

I've never had a hammy that bites, but I know some do ... hope someone comes along with advice for you.
