What do dwarf hamsters eat?

Dwarf hamsters eat hamster food, like all hamsters, but there are some things they CAN'T eat. Dwarf hamsters can't eat too many sunflower seeds because they will get diabetes. Also, they can't eat citrus fruits (lemon, orange, grapefruit) and tomatoes. Other veggies are okay.


How can you stop a hamster from chewing in the bars of its cage?

This is a normal thing that rodents do because their teeth do not stop growing. Put some wooden toys inside the cage for them to chew on instead. This helps to wear the teeth down.


HELP I rubbed lemon on my hamster's cage to stop her biting it but now she's gone really quiet and won't eat her treat?

Lemon is very bad for hamsters it might even kill them use horse manure it always stops them in there tracks


Do hamsters like lemon?

I don't know as my exotic vet told me to NEVER give citrus fruits to my hamster since it can really cause stomach problems. They are voracious eaters so they might actually eat it but don't be tempted since it is way to strong for their little tummies.


What should you do if your hamster is biting the bars of his cage?

This is hard to stop because its teeth keep growing, they chew to wear the teeth down. You can put wooden toys in the cage for it to chew on instead of the cage but it still may chew on the cage.I do give my hamster stuff to chew on and he keeps chewing on the bars everyday...Any other suggestions? a Liquid?Alright its good to make the cage a little different! Interest him/her just like give it lots of stuff to do because if it keeps chewing, it could get brain damage or chipped teeth!Many people put lemon juice on the bars because it is non toxic and deters the hamsters from chewingAnswer 2:Also, you can take a squirt bottle and squirt them. but only if you can catch them in the act. i got one of the small perfume bottles from Victoria secret and cleaned it out really well and just use plain water. it doesn't have a hard enough of a stream to hurt them and they stop cause they are too worried about cleaning themselves. Or another alternative that worked with my girls is blowing in their face. one quick decent blow and they usually stop. after the 2nd day i didn't have a problem with them chewing the bars.Answer 3:To stop them from chewing on the cage first thing you can do is try what the other people said but if that doesn't work replace the cage with a plastic cage that's what i did and it worked great!This is for Answer 3; I have a plastic cage, and my hamster bites where she knows it opens. She keeps me awake at night, it's SOOOOO loud! When I'm downstairs, she is upstairs, and it sounds like the washing machine going on full blast upstairs, and that's with all the doors closed... her cage is in my bedroom! I rubbed lemon juice on the areas that she bites and scratches on. It was fresh lemon, I tasted it, and I couldn't open my eyes from the sourness for several minutes! My weird little hamster was licking the lemon juice off the cage! She even tried to take the lemon slice that I was holding, off me, so that she could eat it! It's not that she's bored; she has loads of toys and good biting items, big windy tubes to explore, and a nice comfy nest. She doesn't even want to escape, because when I open the cage, she just sits there and stares at me. No, she bites and scraped at the cage because she wants me to hold her. She wants to go out in her ball, and be petted by me and my family and friends. What can I do to stop her from chewing on her cage? The fairly NEW cage has minor damage from scratches and bites... please help?Answer 4:I just recently (and I mean just a few minutes ago) discovered my hamster chewing on the bars of her cage. We opened the cage, and put her ball up to it and she just crawled in. All she wanted was to roll around and explore. It gives her a different environment to play in for a little while. Since hamsters are nocturnal they want to be played with and handled at night. Maybe before going to bed, just get her out for a while and get her a ball to roll around in. She might stop chewing on the bars then.Answer 5:VERY SIMPLE AND CHEAP WAY TO STOP BAR NIBBLING, WATER BOTTLE NIBBLING, AND WIRE BOTTLE HOLDER NIBBLING: JUST GIVE THEM A METAL SPOON, Nothing fancy just plain metal spoons.. teaspoon is fineI actually couldn't believe my eyes it was so simple, yes he will chew it, but not for long, and after he's stopped take it out, it will also give him something to investigate, and discourage biting of objects u don't want him biting, and while he's biting the spoon get some toilet paper, I'm talking yank out 30 cm at a time, and gather like 10-12 pieces of it, and scatter it all over the cage, esp in the corner he's biting, he will become preoccupied with all that paper, and eventually wear himself out and go snoozeTested: Syrians, male, female, several times now its worked every time and when I take the spoon he doesn't even notice and some days I find him curled up in the paper vs his igloo.Answer 6:Just put rubber o the cage when the hamster goes to chew it the taste would be yuck and will stop for good.

What is the common name for dwarf lemon?

If "dwarf lemon" isn't the common name, I can't imagine what would be. It's certainly not a scientific name, which would probably be Citrus medica x C. maxima.Citrus fruits are kind of unusual in that they are very, very cross-fertile and most commercially important citrus fruits are not distinct species but rather a cross between two (or more) of the original four (or thereabouts) ancestral species.
