I have 2 of the cutest Chinese hammies in the world.(besides the one that died yesterday) :’(. Anyways, they are both REALLY fast like they can zoom across the cage in 1.5 milli second. When I try to hold them they have soo much energy, that they try jumping out of my hands. How can I get them to calm down, and let me hold them. But for 12 points(answering the question(2 pts)and recieving best answer(10 pts), pick some cute names for a hammie besides truffles, snowball, or anything like that also no people names like jessica, or chloe. Here are guidelines for a best answer chosen by ME:
1) Use correct puncuation and capitals .,()?;:"! when needed
2) Give cute names for a adorbale hammy
3) Give extra tips
4) If you would like, some tips on making a happy, healthy hammy that will live a long time.
Thanks again!!
Chinese hamsters are known to have alot of energy, It often isn’t the easiest thing to train them, but here are some tips I learned from a breeder. It helps alot to take them out atleast once a day, not for too long though or they may get restless. about five to ten minutes is best. Take them out when they are awake only, or they may become upset that you woke them up. Try to take them out separetaly, so they can each have your undivided attention.
If you feed them in the morning, instead of giving them food in their bowl, put your hand in their cage with the regular amount of food in your palm. Hold your hand flat and still. Wait for the hamsters to come to you. They usually won’t eat strait out of your palm, but if they pouch it in their cheeks that is good too. This exercise lets the hamsters begin to trust you. They will learn that you provide food for them.
I also once read about putting a treat on your shoulder and sitting with the hamster on your lap (you may need to move the treat closer to the hamster). Have the hamster climb around on you to find the treat. The hamsters will become familier with you and start to recognise your scent. If you want even more techniques I would suggest looking at Also to get rid of some extra energy you can buy a hamster wheel at most pet stores.
As far as names go, here are some I’ve come up with. I would also suggest looking at websites that list dog names, some of them also work for hamsters.

- Cream Puff
- Cosmo
- Jazz
- Rascal
- Spunky
- Mittens
- Hazel (is that a human name?)
- Nibbles
- Speedy
- Daisy
- Stripe
- Cheerio
- Star
- Peaches
- Fudge
- Snuggles (for two Snuggles and Cuddles)
- Cinnamon (for two Cinnamon and Sugar)
- Snickers
- Taz
- Bear
- Teddy
- Baby
- Buster
- Cappuccino
- Mocha
- Chip
- Bean
- Bambi
- Muffin
- Oreo
- Skipper
- Twinkie

When I got a hamster the lady at the petstore told us to go in the shower, sit down and hold the hamster giving it yougert drops to calm it down. If the hamster is biting you wear gardening gloves (make sure they are not to dirty).
Hope you have a great time with your hamster!!!!
