It is very pleasant to have a hamster as a pet, but if you teach him to various tricks, communication with it will become even more fascinating. Process of training of a hamster is quite simple and takes a little time.
Instruction
1. Training of a hamster will not yield any results if he is afraid of you. Give him time to get used to you, talk at it that he was not afraid of your voice. Wait for the moment when it leaves bravely the cage. Gradually accustom it to the hands. If you feed it with sunflower seeds or grain, give them directly from hands. Take a thicket on hands and stroke it, over time he will begin to ask to you.
2. Begin with simple tricks, for example, racks on hinder legs. You hold delicacy directly over his head, wait when it rises by hinder legs. At this moment say the Stand team, repeat this word again and again while the hamster costs on hinder legs. Do not forget to reward it after each such training. Over time the hamster will carry out a trick, reacting only to a voice command, however do not forget that every time he will wait for a reward from you.
3. The following trick – a turn on the place by 180 degrees. Training happens by the same principle, as in a case to a rack on hinder legs. Put a forage on a back of a hamster, it will turn to get it. At this moment give it the command, for example, "Turn", repeat team again and again, reward it after each executed turn. Gradually you pass to performance of a trick, giving only a voice command, not putting sterns on a back of a hamster.
4. Quite often hamsters gnaw the things which are not intended for this purpose. If your hamster does it, accurately and loudly give him No command. As soon as the hamster distracts, reward him a forage. Try do not give it sterns too often, after each executed trick.
5. One more widespread trick is that the hamster at the command of the owner climbs up his shoulder. It is not difficult to teach this trick. Put a hamster on the shoulder and give it time to get used to this place. Do it several days until he accustoms. Now take a forage and put it on the shoulder, you hold at the same time a hamster in hand. The hamster itself will climb up your shoulder, in search of a forage. As a result for making of this trick of sterns it is not required to you.
