im not sure that chinese dwarfs are meant to have dust baths! sorry!
it should know immediately coz its in its instinct
my Friend has one it doesn't bite her, she calms her down by giving her a treat and brushing her but that doesn't work with all of them
WOW! Nearly 3 years! I'm afraid that is in about 90-100 years old in human years. Dwarf hamsters usually only live until roughly a year an a half. well i don't have a Chinese dwarf hamster, but i have a Russian dwarf hamster and he is over 3 years old. he will be 3 years 1 month old on the 7th July. ive got no idea what age he is in human years i have no idea i need some help to find out
If you buy a winter white (or siberian) dwarf hamster during the winter, it is white with a light gray stripe on its back. The color of a winter white dwarf hamster's coat depends on your hamster. You have to wait until spring or summer to see. :)
Purchase BengayTM and apply it to the reddened skin of the hamster every 6 hours until there is a noticable improvement.
It is best to wait until the hamster is old enough to start leaving the nesting area, walking around the cage, and able to eat solid food.
Yes, you can over feed your dwarf hamster. Do not give it more than a handful of food. When it's plate is clean wait until it goes to its food bowl. Then that means its hungry. So feed it.
You have to get the hamster used to it's home and surroundings. Try not to handle it much until it gets used to it's new home. After a day or so, start to get the hamster used to you. Remember to feed, water, and change their bedding.
A hamster leaves its mother at 3 weeks old. So I would wait until then before you start too handle.
Try to keep him calm and stop any bleeding that he may have. Talk to your hamster with soft, soothing voices to keep it calm. Don't put ice on it. It will just shock the hamster even more and will be under lots of stress.
Talking from experience: they get easily irritable, they fight with other hamsters, they eat A LOT. You won't actually get to see the baby bump until the last week or so.
Males should not be with females during pregnancy or birth. It cant be with the babies until they are big. The male will eat the babies. You have to separate them after they mate
