Can I teach hamsters to do tricks?

Answer by  BreeKL (138)

In theory, you should be able to train any pet. It is all about conditioning. When the hamster does a desired act, give it a treat. Keep this up for a bit, then move on. If you want it to ride a bike, give it a treat when it sniffs the bike, goes near it, and eventually gets on it.

Yes, you can teach a hamster do tricks, just like any other pet you can teach them by offering food when they do the trick you want.

Yes, you can. Learn about "shaping behavior" and "clicker training." There are videos on youtube of people who have taught their fish to do tricks, and a hamster is probably smarter than a fish.

Yes you can. 1: constantly say the hamsters name 2: lead the hamster towards you with a treat, while saying its name 3:put a treat where you want the hamster to go and call it's name. 4:call your hamster with no treats in sight.
