Animals do menstruate. However, if your hamster is bleeding, plus has other symptoms, such as excessive drinking, loss of appetite, lethargic, then the hamster is not menstruating, but needs to be seen by a vet. Female hamsters of a reproductive age (2 months) will have estrus every 3-4 days. This means they can become pregnant every 3-4 days. Pregnancy lasts 16-18 days and once the babies are born, she can become pregnant again in about 2 weeks. It is highly recommended to separate the female into her own cage when you know she is pregnant and keep her independent with her babies (aka pups) until they are at least 4-5 weeks old. Then they should all be given solitary cages unless you are trying to grow the family.
Scientists use hamsters to study human menstrual cycles because they are almost identical. Instead of bleeding at the end of the cycle, hamsters have a thick, white discharge that has a strong musky scent during ovulation. They can get moody, and I've had some that had full blown PMS once a month.
Hamsters have an oestral cycle, not a menstrual one. There are similarities, but one main one is there is no or little discharge in the oestral cycle, the unused placenta is reabsorbed instead. In a menstual mammal such as humans, the placenta sloughs off from the uterine wall as a bloody discharge, this is the 'period'.
Of course !!!!!!! Any thing does including trees !!!!!
no, not a regular menstrual cycle like humans. However a few times in their lives the female hammy will pee blood for a couple of days.
No, but they do get discharge (a whitish goo: try not to touch it)
