probably because its scared of you touching him or her or is scared of falling down the tube like my hamster
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 :'( !
Chinese dwarf hamsters are the slowest of dwarf hamsters, they are easy to handle and I would recommend to anyone who is having a first time dwarf hamster.
there is no specific time.
A Roborovski hamster is normally pregnant between 20 and 22 days. Some sources say that they can be pregnant for up to 30 days, though. Roborovski hamsters can be weaned at 21 days, and this is normally a good time to separate males and females.
It depends. Well, I have four hamsters and three are robo hamsters and the other one is a Campbell dwarf hamster. Two of the robos are males and the other robo is a female. I put one male robo and the female robo together and they had 2 their first time. But the second litter and third litter, there were about 6-7 babies that were born. Usually the first litter is always smallest, but the most babies would probably be no more than 8 or 9, who knows, like I said, it depends. Oh and if your female is going to have babies, make sure the male is not in the cage with her or else she might get scared and eat her babies( she thinks she's protecting them).
Here are some ideas:Get him another dwarf hamsterOccupy his time with something that he really likes, that will take his mind off his hamster that diedGet him a new pet (it's OK if it's not a dwarf hamster, you'd probably want to get a pet that's lifespan is longer than a hamster)
Dwarf hamsters generally have a gestation time of 18 to 30 days, 21 days being the average.
Syrian hamsters are great for first time owners, children and many more including the elderly they are easy to handle, train and even teach them not to be nocturnal (this does take time slowly taking your hamster out 15-30 minutes earlier each night.)
no I disagree, have you ever seen the movie screamers? it's just like that. no way! i have one and its never ever bit me, they are bred not to bite, BUT, if you want one you can pick up all the time a robo is not the hamster for you. My hamsters name is Gizmo bcuz robo's are SUPER fast!
Most of the time, i have 2 Chinese dwarf hamsters kept in the same cage and they are fine, Hope This Helps
Russian. They are alot easier to care for and dont seem to bite much
Fist things fist. Wash the bite with soap and water. The next time you try to pick up your dwarf hamster wear a thick glove with your sent. Do this everyday for 5 minutes and eventually he will get used to you.
