they dont bite but im sorta upset that i cant handle them like my sister handled hers plz help!
They'll get used to you the more they are handled by you.As you will get used to them,i had a hamster that bit me constantly in the beginning and was a bit wild but slowly we got used to each other after a bit of time and patience.
Getting hamsters used to you definitely takes time. Handle them as much as possible, the more you do the faster they will get used to you. Yet some hamsters will not like to be handled and their one focus will be getting down.
If your hamster bites you, wear gloves until they stop.

Is it a syrian hamster? If so, thats their natrual habit. Being fussy at handling. Get a square wired surface, (sorry i cant remember what its called) and place the hamster on that rather than yuor hand. Stroke the hamster gentle, and try feeding it from your fingers, like lettuce and dandelion leaves. Soon, it will begin to trust you.
There's a book "Training Your Pet Hamster" that you may wish to check out from your library. It has lots of practical tips for kids. The main things you need to solcialise your hamsters are time and paitence.
put some food on your hands, make sure its a treat and put it inside their cage, let them come to you to get a treat
