     This is a very common question among new hamster keepers. How do you tame a hamster? Well, it's actually pretty easy. When you first get your hamster, you want to leave it alone for at least 24 hours before handling it.Why? Because the hamster needs to get used to its' surroundings first. It's gone through a lot of stress since it got transported, so you want to leave it be.
