Black bear hamsters can recognize their owners. Hamsters are highly sensitive to smells and they identify their owners by smell. Although hamsters don't have a high IQ and their memory is rather poor, they can remember their owners by keeping feeding them and interacting with them every day. To make black bear hamsters recognize their owners, you can put food in your hand to feed them after they've adapted to the new environment, allowing them to get familiar with the owner's smell. As time goes by, the hamsters will gradually trust their owners and may even show excitement when the owners approach.
To make black bear hamsters recognize their owners more quickly, the following methods can be adopted:
Adapt to the New Environment: When they first arrive at a new environment, hamsters may feel nervous. At this time, don't rush to interact with them. Instead, first observe whether their physical condition and eating and sleeping routines are normal.
Interaction and Feeding: After the hamsters have adapted to the environment, you can put food in your hand to feed them, so that they can become familiar with the owner's smell. When the hamsters no longer feel nervous around the owner, you can try to hold them in your hand for interaction.
Avoid Excessive Harassment: When interacting with hamsters, be careful not to make them feel nervous or scared too often, as this may cause them to fall ill.
Through these methods, black bear hamsters can gradually recognize their owners and show trust and dependence on them.
