Let’s play a little game and see if you can correctly identify the strawberry yogurt drop.
If you picked A, you are correct! If you picked B, you are Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle and you are a bad, naughty hamster.
Yes you.
My hamster bit me. She bit me and drew blood, and it HURT. Her little saber teeth pierced my thumb and it bled for a good ten minutes, and it THROBBED for a good three hours. I am not good with blood, so I may have had a little panic attack which required me to take a Valium and lie down and do some deep breathing exercises. Then when I felt better, I decided to Google “hamster bite.” Poor choice. I got worked up all over again because of TULAREMIA! MENINGITIS! TETANUS!
The problem is that I’m taking the bite personally. It hurt my thumb, yes, but more than that, it hurt my feelings. This hamster has it better than 95% of the world’s human children and she bit me.
So yeah, I’m a little upset, and it’s basically all I’ve talked about for the past week. Why did she bite me? Was it something I said? Is she going to become a vicious killer hamster now that she’s tasted human blood? Do we need therapy to work out our trust issues?
And honestly, would it kill her to show a little remorse?
Don't feel bad Andrea, my little Bunny 'Blas' has bit me twice. And he's a bunny!!! Bunnies are not supposed to bite... they're supposed to be sweet fluffy little things right? He was probably just after more food and that was his way of telling you...
Man andrea I got your game wrong! I totally thought that your finger was the treat!! I can see how your hamster got it mixed up! : ) Also I know that the feeling afterwards is actually much worse than the bite, it made me sad when coco bit me when she was just a baby!
ohhh bad Mrs Tiggy-Winkle! hope your thumb is better! x Raquel’s last blog post..let's go to the beach

Aww! I had a pet hamster when I was a kid, and I still remember how sharp those little teeth were! Personally, I would have gone for the strawberry yogurt drop.
