they would roam until they r comfortable with where they are or when injured or tired and try to adapt
They both sound good, but consider the hamster's personality. LEAH would suit a hamster who is more sweet and docile. Who is more graceful and kind toward humans. Also, who likes human interation and doesn't bite. SASSY would be a hamster name for a hamster who nips, is a free spirit, and who does what she wants. She'd also be more the type to run away and cause some ruckus.
Yes, but it is probably more likely that the infant will give germs to the hamster.
Syrian hamsters, dwarfs are more likely to bite
They usually don't have a bad smell. The cage is more likely.
the best way to introduce your hamster to handling is to let them come to your hand. if you were a hamster you wouldn't want to be grabbed! show that you are not a threat by putting your hand in the cage near the hamster without touching it and slowly moving it away from the hamster. this way your hamster is more likely to come to your hand. avoid quick movements as this will scare your hamster. when your hamster has had enough leave it or it wont come out when you are there. though it may take time, your hamster will gradualy get used to your hand and wont mind being held! i am in the process of taming my fourth hamster at the moment! hope i helped!
The hamster will most likely hide and cower, as this is their instinct as they are prey, not predators, and an injury would make them more vulnerable. They also will limp or hold up the injury, lick, or try to conceal it. If your hamster is acting like this, take it to a vet immediately.
Yes it is more likely that it will enjoy being alone with more space for themselves but if you want a friend for your hamster then it is okay too!!
Possibly, but it's more likely that she will eat them.
It's hugely unlikely that the hamster died b/c of biting you. More likely it bit b/c it was already feeling ill, and then died.
I would say hamsters but personally I have an gerbil, and my hamster died about 4 years ago. I would say an hamster. But it depends about the gerbil/hamster so there is no fact its an opinion.
More than likely, yes, unfortunately, but not necessarily.
Depends on where you ship from. Even if it is close, I would avoid it because it would traumatize the hamster. It might make the connection that you were the person who made it go through the shipping and that might will make it harder for the hamster to trust you. You can expect more nipping from the hamster than you would if you just came and got it.
