Bear and a Coil!

There ya go. Sure, it's nowhere near SIDT's skills, but it should work at least temporarily.

I once got a hamster that had lived in a crack house and was vicious. Well, that's what I was told. It would bite at anything that entered that cage. I swear that hamster had never been handled, and never been outside a cage. I tried to treat it like the other four hamsters I had at the time. I was careful with that hamster for awhile, trying to get it used to gentle human contact.

Once it was comfortable enough with being handled, I brought it out and let it run around. I did something to frighten it and it bit me--hard. I've never seen that much blood come from my finger, and I was a little more mindful with that hamster after that. I still have that scar, 20 years later.

People who think hamsters are aggressive are most likely people who got a hamster from a pet store, or someone else, that never, or very rarely, handled the hamsters. The hamster has lived in a cage it's entire life and suddenly this big animal comes out of nowhere to snatch it up. The hamster is in a cage, it's cornered, it's not familiar with a human so it's going to bite. They're prey creatures with teeth as their only defense. Let them get used to humans and they can be gentle little critters that will crawl all over you, leaving little pellet poops, and even fall asleep in your hands.

Now I want a hamster again.
