Hamster Behavior

Yes they get very protective and after a while they eat their babies! To prevent this, separate the males from the females when they are 4 weeks old. Also when the hamsters behavior changes and then the hamsters heat rises , they may have became pregnent again and/or are going to die. About the dieing part nothing is bad , just you may want to give them lots to drink and a little less food. Also it depends on what you are feeding it and how the begaviour usually is. kay, thankx , ive experianced this and my hamster was prego twice , but then her behaviour was fine.

If your hamster bit her baby's head off it means she's stressed or the baby was weak and wouldn't make it.

for winter whites, the female is very playful and it runs quite fast and it's harder to tame whereas the male is easier to tame and it's not that playful and it does not run as fast as the female i think. I'm not sure about the other species.

With legs

yes As someone who has been on the wrong end of a hamsters teeth I can most definitely tell you yes they do.

• You will see her belly to bubble up and she will be making a nest in the corner of her cage.
• She will start hoarding food and begin taking it to her nest.
• She will be more protective over there and her belongings such as her nest and food.

NO NO NO!!! ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!!! the male will eat the newborns and you will be getting ready to go to a funeral! PLEASE put cardboard between the adult male and the female with newborns. Make sure to feed her a TINY bit extra if she is nursing.

P.S. And exchange the cardboard with wood if he starts to nibble through the cardboard!!!

No, teddy bear hamsters are Syrian hamsters.

I think a male or female leader is equal. God created males and females to be different for a reason and for that reason, we lead in different ways. Men are less emotional most of the time, therefore, they can make a decision a little more quickly b/c there is nothing to think about. Also, sometimes men can use their power to get what they want and to get back at someone. Women do the same, however, women have something God given inside of us (intuition) and it helps make decisions for the best of everyone. This is a really tricky question b/c I can really straddle the fence and defend either side whole heartedly. I genuinely think the better leader is whomever can make a decision based on what is best for all those involved. A great leader will do what s/he has stated s/he will do. Morals and values and truth will be the most important things for the "better leader."

Hamsters are natural hoarders and are notorious for stockpiling food. They are very possessive and protective of their food hoard. It is a natural and instinctive behavior inherited from their wild ancestors.

hmmm. the best thing u can do is take it to a vet rite away. try holding him/her. maybe its lonely. that's the cycle of life theres not much u can do.

He/She sqeaks really loud and jumps

Most likely the mother of the hamsters.

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.

Yes.

Female hamsters, or girl hamsters, will also fight.

They aren't any better with the fighting thing.

Syrian hamsters of any gender will eat each other if put in one cage.

Dwarf hamsters, on the other hand, can live with each other with a daily mini-quarrel.

I believe that one mouse eats about 3 tablespoons worth of food per day.

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.

They really shouldn't, it is toxic.

That sounds like an oxy moron, winter vs texas.....anyway... try typing in in google what your looking for or try this website... http://www.liveaquaria.com/catalog/index.cfm?ref=3319&subref=AV I use it for fish but if you look at the catalog for small animalls you might find it.. the catalogs take about 3 business days or less to get to you when you order them

You don't, unless you know the female is in heat and ready to mate. Otherwise keep them apart at any other time.

I think your hamster has broken its foot, because that's what happens to a humans foot after they break it. I think you should go to a vet.

Yes, i think you should definitely get a vets advise, try not to over exercise your hamster if it is limping, and don't do anything yourself you might make it worse!

It varies. You have to take a lot of factors into consideration, such as height, exercise habits, eating habits, etc.

Let's take a 17 year-old girl who is 5ft 1in as an example. Normally, she would weigh more or less than 120 -135lbs.

But anyway, I'm not doctor or health expert. Your best bet would be to go ask a professional.

You need to give her more food than the usual since she's producing milk.

Vets call it "wet tail" so basically if your hamsters tail is wet or discoloured you should see a vet. Hope this helped =)
