I got my hamster about 6 weeks ago and she was fine the first 3 days but then when i try to get her out of the cage to clean it she bites.How do you train her?
try washing your hands before handling her. As hamsters have bad eye sight they might smell what you've been eating and mistake it for food. Try not to handle it while it is sleeping, it might panic and bite. Wear gloves for a while to let your hamster start to trust and become comfortable to getting held as it is only young. Some hamsters are more nervous then others, try petting it more often and give it treats (only give it treats if it doesn't bite otherwise it will think biting will earn it a treat). Handle your hamster gently, it might bite if you squeeze it or pick it up to quickly. Also try holding the hamster closer to the ground as they are used to be close to the ground. It might be scared if you walk about with it in your hand or on your shoulder
