It has to be about 3-4 weeks old, then you can hold them.
Well, it depends on what type of hamster it is. A Syrian Hamster can grow up to 6-7 inches in length A Chinese Dwarf Hamster can grow up to 7.5-9 cm in length A Winter White Russian Dwarf Hamster is only half the size of an Syrian. Hope that helps
there is a big difference between them as syrian hamsters are bigger than dwarf hamsters. There is quite a lot of different types of dwarf hamsters such as, Russian winter whites, Chinese, campbells, rovoroski and maybe more. But most dwarf hamsters can live with 1 or more of the same sex and syrians have to live alone - so if your hamster lives alone then its probably a syrian. aslo syrians are about half the size of a guineapig and dwarf hamsters are about half the size of a syrian hamster.
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
yes because were would it sleep
A newborn hamster will not go half a day without eating.
You shouldn't leave them in the ball for to long as their feet will start to hurt them. ! :) I leave mine in for 5mins in the morning 15min at dinner and 5mins at night... My hamster has been alive for 3 and a half years but unfortunately died on 18 September 2009 :'( !
Use a warm washcloth
no bigger than your hand. I'm warning you though, i had one and it was viciously mean so i would think twice about getting those. i heard they are born to be mean. but mine was a Russian dwarf so i don't know if there's a difference.
very small. about the size of half you small finger. they are born fully haired, eyes open and you can touch them with in 4 hours of birth.
Was this hamster kept in a cage with any other hamsters? As it could have been murdered by its cage-mate, whilst this is uncommon with dwarf hamsters it will happen if there are two Syrian hamsters as they are very territorial and will kill for territory. If the hamster was in the cage alone then it would be a good idea to consult a pet shop or vet.
No, they are their own species.
