hmmm.. so how exactly should i deal with him these 2 weeks? I actually can already handfeed him, he's quite an eater for a small fella, it's just that without food, even when my hand doesn't smell of anything, he will just bite me, sometimes running across the cage to bite me when he sees my hand in the cage... should i still handfeed him or leave him completely untouched for now? i never had this problem with syrians...
Are you couple who bought the WW today in PS?
Just leave the WW alone for 2 days before handling him, this is to let him get use to the new environment. I don't think he is aggressive and wanna attack you as he is tame enough for you to hand feed. Maybe he is too curious to have human touch. WW are very curious hamster wheres Syrians are a bit lazy and slow. That's why WW look like very aggressive and wanna attack. You'll be fine. We also just bought a female WW in PS today.
