I am aware that this is about 'your' pet and if it does bite you...all the pets I have had never bit me ever (well, the hamsters we have will occassionally nip at my fingers or at the palm of my hand)...but I do know that other people who have pets such as dogs will bite newspaper carriers and mailmen...I've been biten on three different occassions when I was a newspaper carrier many years ago...and one other dog missed getting a chunk of me when I swiftly moved my bag over where the dog was aiming at and ended up ripping out a mouthful of the bag and before the dog could attack me again, the owner was able to restrain the dog....
Cheri-sis, try this...open the cage and allow your sweet and cuddly hamster to come out into the palm of your hand instead of picking it up in her cage...that may lessen your chances of being bit...works well for me!
