They can start biting the bars of their cage, squeaking and a wet tail can be signs of stress.

It depends. If they were raised alongside each other at a young age, then yes, but if you introduce a new hamster to another one they could start fighting. Hamsters are territorial. Especially keep away a pregnant hamster from anyone new, it will cause stress and when the babies are born, she might eat them because of this stress.

Hamsters can eat apples but without seeds. They can eat a lot of (but not all) fruits. However, they can't eat citric fruits. They can eat lettuce, carrots, celery, broccoli (uncooked), corn, etc. From my personal experience I have noticed that they especially like carrots, lettuce, corn, sunflower seeds, and broccoli. They usually eat uncooked foods, though.

Bigger hamsters like Syrians enjoy 12 grams of food a day but smaller one's like Russian Dwarfs will take 6 grams. But different hamsters eat different amounts, so try to get used to what they need every day.

Remember to give hamsters some FRESH food sometimes, they love it.

cheekolol, Good luck

Some people need much more sleep than others, so it may be nothing more than that. It is interesting that the best quality sleep is had before midnight, so the more you sleep before then may reduce the total amount needed. The deciding factor is if you feel refreshed after sleeping for a long time. If not, depression may be a cause as excessive sleeping is one of the symptoms but the person remains fatigued. This can be effectively treated these days, so if you think this is the problem, see a doctor. Remember, clinical depression does not always involve feeling sad, so many people don't realize they have it.

Hamsters will USUALLY click if they feel threatened or are ready to attack. This is called "bruxing". If your hamster is bruxing then I recommend that you let your hamster be alone for an hour or so. Hopefully by then they are not as threatened.

Don't touch the babies. The mother will sense a smell that has never smelt before. Therefore, she thinks her babies are sick or contaminated, so she will eat the babies. Also, don't disturb the mother too much or she will go crazy!

hamsters(doesn't matter what breed) will mater around every week. The reason why this is if you put a male and female hamster together in one cage the male will want sex almost everyday, but the female will refuse. So the female goes threw heat every four days and on the fourth day, not the day before it and not the day after it she will indeed mate with him. She will have a white smelly liquid come from her vagina and her rear will freeze in the air waiting for the male to penatrate. But only on that fourth day will she mate with him. This doesn't happen to often but if they absolutely refuse to mate, then you have to trick them to think its mating season. You either have to leave the lights on for 12 hours or more, or if its winter you'll have to buy a heater (like for lizard cages) for their cage. You should keep them together threw her pregnancy but on the day she gives birth seperate, them but really try your best not to bother her. Because she will feel threatend might eat or kill her young. After they mate, which will be 10-100 times, she most likely will be pregnant( ya never know) on the sixteenth day after they mated at around six o'clock will she give birth, i apologize for making this so long and boring but i want to give you the best information possible, beleive it or not theres even more. I hope this answers all of your questions, goodbye! PS: the reason why you separate them before she gives birth is because after the birth she will be in heat and the whole cycle of pregnancy will happen once again, but after that day put them back together, hes supposed to be with them
Well, first the male is attracted to the female's scent. He approaches her, sniffs her anus, and if the scent seduces the male, he will have an erection. (Yes, hamsters do have penises). He will then stick his penis into the vagina (on the bottom to the rear a little) of the female and proceed to have sex in the usual way...it may sometimes rub its penis in the anal and vaginal area of the female first. Mating usually only lasts a short time for hamsters, but they may mate several times. Scientist are not exactly sure if the female also gets pleasure out of mating in hamsters, but most of them agree that they do.

You have a moral obligation to let him know. Note that you can be sued for custody.

Yes, but don't feed it too much, it might get sick. Also, cut it in small pieces so that your hamster won't choke.

Separate the hamsters. They do not live in groups in nature and only get together for a short time for mating. They are solitary animals and will continue to fight if they aren't separated. If antibiotics don't help, take them to the vet. Some infections can be below the skin where a topical antibiotic won't help. Only the vet can deal with this problem!

A bite from a dwarf hamster isn't any worse than getting a paper cut. You should use a disinfectant just in case. You probably won't get a infection, but it is possible.

I believe hamsters are not available anywhere in Australia due to what happened when rabbits were introduced here! The powers that be are very nervous about the import of 'exotic' pets incase they escape into the wild, breed and harm our ecosystem. Which is a great shame as hamsters are totally cute & I'd also love to have one.

If you can get one........

To be honest if you have had dwarf hamsters before then you shouldn't have too many problems with Russian hamsters. They tend to bite/nip more and are harder to tame. Don't get me wrong they are lovely hamsters but I wouldn't recommend them for children or people who haven't had dwarf hamsters

Hamsters squeak as a sign of distress or a cry for help, if your hamster does squeak go to it immediately and see if anything is wrong, if you can see no injuries obviously, but it still squeaks when you pick him/her up again consult a vet to have an x-ray done or something. If nothing is wrong he/she was probably scared from something check it's cage for spiders or other small/large insects. If it doesn't squeak again your hamster was probably communicating with another hamster if you have one, or saying something even to you.
