Hamsters are great pets for all ages. One of the perfect ways to form a friendship and trust with them is to train your furball to do some tricks! To help you out, here is how to train your hamster.
1. Becoming friends with your hamster
It’s not as crazy as it sounds, there are a lot of positives to seeing a child become friends with their hamster. It helps them understand their pet more and care for them with more compassion, as well as providing them both with a friend to play with. If you care for your hamster well you will become friends overtime.
2. Get your hamster used to hearing your voice
Your hamster needs to become familiar with hearing your voice if you are building trust. Always use a calm tone with talking to your hamster, never shout and avoid loud noises of any kind. Once your hamster is familiar with your voice it will know when you are around, and be comfortable hearing you.

3. Use sunflower seeds as treats
Hamsters favourite treats are sunflower seeds, so using these as rewards you can work on training your hamster. Make sure the seeds are safe for animals—as buying sunflower seeds from the supermarket intended for humans often contain some chemicals not intended for small animals. Also keep in mind that sunflower seeds are high in oils and can send your hamster on a path to becoming overweight if given too many. The health of your hamster should be your first and foremost consideration, so use treats in moderation. The purpose of treating your hamster is so that you are associated with treats, and after the hamster does certain actions it will come to expect rewards.
4. Picking up your hamster
When you pick up your hamster you need to do it swiftly, with confidence, and without causing any discomfort. If your hamster is running around the cage do not chase down, corner it, or frighten it in any way. It can take a while for a hamster to become comfortable with being handled, so be patient and handle it gently and as often as you have time to. You will see your hamster starting to trust you over time, leading on to making it easier to handle and train it.
