Hamsters do bite... and if they bite, it is not fatal but it would be wise to get a tetanus shot. If you already gotten that injection, make sure it is not more than 3 years got the tetanus vaccine will die out in 3 years in the body.

Anyway, once a hamster bites you, just wash with water and soap, wash with dettol also and apply a plaster... I have been bitten numerous times by not only hamster but many MANY animals... nothing ever happened to me coz I make sure I have tetanus injection.

Tetanus not that expensive... some clinics RM60... I think government clinic RM20... you go check. Normally people turning 17 or 16 get tetanus shot at school.
