Hamster Behavior

no, cedar and pine are no good for hamsters they may be too dusty and the oils are not good for a hamster to digest; plus cotton is never good, many people say, "cotton bedding does not tangle around my hamsters limbs," my hamster is not sick from eating cotton bedding". but I am not too sure if some people watch there hamster 24/7, but cotton bedding do hurt hamsters it can tangle around limbs, cause digestion problems, and can even cause a hamster to chew its own arm, tail, or anything that is tangled around the hamster's body or limb off. so paper based bedding it the most best chose.

Dwarf hamsters are generally faster than Syrian Hamsters. They aren't too fast, but can get speedy sometimes. Roborovski Hamsters are extremely hyper and fast and Chinese hamsters are pretty fast too.

This isn't a good sign its probably best you go to the vet and get it sorted out. the Internet never has the right answers don't trust it vets are better and trained.

Probably because they're rodents like her and she feels like she can relate.

Black light can pose a hazard to the eyes and the skin. Black light is, after all, light at the violet end of the spectrum and it has ultraviolet components. UV light is higher energy light and can be damaging. Get the straight dope by reading the Wikipedia article. The link is below.

Hamsters eat, seeds, and grains, and vegetables and fruits naturally.

First you need to know which is the corner where your hamster poops, then you can use a little tray with cat litter or chinchilla sand. Hamsters can be properly potty trained in a week or so.

Well, if you are evil towards your hamster, then the hamster will probably be mean towards you.

You should feed a duck a handful of layers pellets in the morning and in the evening per duck per day. Do not feed wild ducks

If your hamster is active both day and night, it may indicate that it is not getting enough stimulation during its awake hours or that it is exhibiting atypical behavior. Hamsters are generally nocturnal, so consistent daytime activity could signal stress, boredom, or health issues. It's important to ensure your hamster has a stimulating environment with toys and activities to engage with. If unusual behavior persists, consider consulting a veterinarian for further evaluation.

sounds like it may be having a seizure. Yes this would be bad see a vet.

I am married to a narcissist, a high percentage will not admit that they have a problem like this. The best thing to do is to find one and just talk to them. Keeping in mind the disorder fact that the behavior and thought patterns are mainly of a 6 year old. I struggled for 12 years and just found out why he never acted like he loved me.

Answer

Yes, I would be willing to answer a few questions. What the contributer above says about the behavior and thought patterns of a narcissist being mainly of a 6 year old is basically true - there is a maturation process that most narcissists seemed to have skipped. I'm not sure if there is a typical narcissist, some use rage, others use passive aggression, and some use both tactics to control, and control is what it is all about for a narcissist. Let me explain a typical relationship scenerio for me. I would meet someone and I would immediately fall in love(?) and it would be so wonderful and I just knew that the relationship was going to last forever. I loved being in love, I mean "in attention", at first because the feeling was so blissful and it gave me such a high, and most of all it was, "oh this person finds ME so attractive and so wonderful and yes how can she help but not too, because, HELLO EVERYONE, I am attractive and wonderful. I was a peacock in full color, strutting around, being soooo nice, doing everything I could possibly do to "show off " this wonderful, wonderful person who I thought I was. And everyone actually thought I was totally wonderful, which just added fuel to to my over-inflated egocentric way of thinking of myself. I would even think of marriage during the first week of a relationship because I absolutely knew that my mate would certainly say "yes" - how could she resist such a wonderful proposal. Sometime's I would pop the question just to see and sure enough the answer was more often the not a yes, or at least a tenetive yes. God, what total a jerk I was to do something like that. Then, as all relationships go, the shine would start to wear off and things would settle down to real life and that's when I would become scared that the relationship was ending and with it the feeling of being omnipotent. I would panic and do weird things to take control so I wouldn't lose my source of narcissistic suppy. I would disappear for a few days to make her chase after me so I could hear that she still cared. After I wore that tactic to the ground, I would do other passive aggressive things or initiate little fights again to get a reaction to see if she still cared. And on and on and on. The thing narcissists don't realize is that if you think you are "right on" ALL the time then someone else is "left out". The result is that there are a lot of lonely narcissists in this world, because most people with even a the slightest amount of self respect would not put up with behavior like that for long. (Are you listening?) There's much more to the narcissist story, and there are ways that you can bring them to their knees, but why would you want to bother? I realize that I am a narcissist. I would like not to be. There is no magic pill that a person can take to change narcissistic behavior. If you have a question you would like to ask, I will do my best to answer.

ANSWER

I am pleased that someone is this honest out there! Just reading this has helped me understand that I am not alone struggling with a N. Your description of relationships is entirely my experience with my narcissistic partner (though he is a lot more severe!) - the whole destroying it before it destroys me tactic has completely worn me out emotionally! A year in and I just can't take any more of it. He is constantly saying things like "well, if I'm not good enough for you"... if I criticise him in any way it's such an attack on his fragile ego that he sulks for days. It's always me who has to piece things back together. I'm all out of positivity! I can't keep putting positive spins on everything and do everything to make a relationship work. I feel like I'm bashing my head against a brick wall.

What do you do with relationships now? Can you control this behaviour?

Answer: To the woman above from the narcissist above

I haven't been in a relationship in over 6 years and this is significant because I have been married 3 times, I have been in a live-in relationship with 3 other women plus I have had numerous other relationships. Interestingly enough, I always felt that it was the other person who was responsible for the breakup. Unlucky at love I suppose. I know to have felt that way was entirely untrue. Knowing what I know now about myself and narcissism, I still wouldn't place any bets on how sucessful I would be a new relationship. Think of the narcissist who is clueless about themself. Asking them to try to control their behavior would be like asking them to change the color of their eyes. If you are in a relationship with a narcissist and a problem arises, the narcissist will almost always feel that the other person is deficient and therefore they will feel totally justified in acting the way they do towards you. The narcissist will want you to fix the problem so they will no longer have to act that way, and if you don't fix it, it's too bad for you if you have to suffer. They are right, you are wrong, so why do they have to trouble themselves for your inadequacies. My advise, if you haven't already done so, is to run from this person as if your hair was on fire!

"and there are ways that you can bring them to their knees, but why would you want to bother?" - I do....:)

So, how do I bring them to their knees?:)

Thank you anyway, you are wonderful!

Well the answer can be 8-24 babies but if you want to risk having babies then you could lose the mother or she could be very weak

The average pregnancy for most hamster species is 16-23 days. Gestation lasts 16 to 18 days for Syrian hamsters, 18 to 21 days for Russian hamsters, 21 to 23 days for Chinese hamsters and 23 to 30 for Roborovski hamsters.

It is often difficult to determine pregnancy merely by looking at the hamster, at least until the last two or three days. Some signs include careful cleaning of her teats, and storing up food piles in her nest. When her condition becomes obvious, you probably have less than two weeks to wait.

Yep, if it is cut into a bit larger than bite sized ^.^
