Why isn't my hamster cute?

Ok well 2 of my friends have cute little hamsters and they let you hold them and pet them and ther so small and fury and like a hamster shud be but well my sister bought me a hamster about 5 months ago and when I got him he was so tiny and cute like my friends ones are . but now hes a monster ! He got real fat (And no I didnt feed him 2 much) and has sooo much hair he doesnt even look like a hamster anymore ! I cant pick him up or pet him because he bites and jumps out of my hands . Why is that ? is he a different kind of hamster or something ??

Answer #1

actually he is a teddy boy hamster males get fat and grow really long fur

Answer #2

I had a dwarf hamster when I was younger…well actually I had two dwarf hamsters when I was younger, and they also bit…so I stopped holding them, and then one was female and one was male and they started having babies…all the babies looked the same as the male, so we couldnt really tell the difference when we sold them to the pet store…and then they kept having babies…and eventually I think they became incestual and they started eating eachother…talk about traumatizing for a 12 year old.

Answer #3

the boys are naturally more cuddly than the girls the girls want to be left alone . the boys wanna be cuddled and played with

Answer #4

well it could be a girl. and idknow not all things are the same. some people are mean and killer when others are nice. so it goes the same with animals. and it sounds like it looks cute

Answer #5

Hmm… if you could get a picture of his/her butt, then that would help determine. Male and female are different… probably a female it is, cause its big.

Answer #6

Ye I got it like when it was just a baby and held it all the time because it was so cute and cudly but then it got huge and its hair got real long and it start gettin aggressive so I dont pick it up much anymore … Xo

Answer #7

yeah hes probably a different breed of hampster I had a rusktierian ( cant spell it ) hampster or its a girl .

Answer #8

Oh that could be it because I just presumed he was a boy lol . I never checked or anything :) Xo

Answer #9

did you hold it a lot when it was young? if not, then it is most likely to be like that.. and yeah if it is a girl ( I could tell if you put up a picture of its butt) then they tend to be more agressive.

Answer #10

if its an un neutered male, you will be able to tell. trust me. I have had many male hampsters, they have big balls… haha

but if its mean, that sucks, try using gloves and training it…

Answer #11

Why would it being a girl mak a difference ?? Xo

Answer #12

You oviously didnt read the whole question !! lmao

Answer #13

well yd you buy it if you didnt think it was cute in the first place???

Answer #14

IT’S A different BREED AND IT STILL IS CUTE DON’T GET ANGREY AT YOUR HAMSTER JUST because ITS NOT THE WAY YOU WANTED IT TO BE!!!
