Why Does a Pudding Hamster Bite? What to Do If Bitten
A pudding hamster may bite because your hands smell of food, it senses threat from a stranger, its poor vision mistakes splayed fingers for food, or it smells another hamster on you—all tied to its strong territorial instinct. Wash your hands before handling, keep fingers together, and never tease with a finger. If bitten and bleeding, rinse with soapy water and see a clinic; a light bite without deep tissue can be rinsed well and dabbed with iodine.
Do Pudding Hamsters Bite? What to Do If One Bites You

Bites rarely carry rabies; rinse any bleeding wound with soap and running water for 15 minutes and disinfect, and see a doctor for deep or heavy bleeding.
