Weaning is when the young hamsters completely stop using the milk of the mother, the weaning process begins when the hamsters start eating other foods, though also keep drinking the mother's milk. They are completely weaned when the rely on other food and not the mother. This is also usually the point where the hamsters can leave the mother and go to new homes.

Not at all. They are completely different species. Also, Teddy bear hamsters are actually just a nickname, they're actually called Syrian hamsters

Dwarf hamsters, like any animal will eat anything you give them, but I personally do not recommend it. I feel that although they can eat turkey(NOT Pork), it is better to not feed your hamsters, or any pet, table food because it is not always good for their health. I recommend that you stick to feeding your little friend its food specificed for it.

Good luck with your dwarf hamster!

I would not sedate a tiny animal without the help of a vet even with herbals. However, hamster's teeth grow continually, so they must always have hard things to chew on. Their food mix should have hard kibble and seeds in the shell in it, or give them wood hamster toys from a pet store.

You should always educate yourself about an animal's behavior before you bring one home. This will prevent the animal being treated unfairly. If your hamster is keeping you up at night, it probably has more to do with his environment than a need to be sedated. They are nocturnal creatures. If you have it in a wire or plastic cage, it is probably hanging off of the sides and chewing. You can prevent this by moving him into a glass aquarium with tall sides and a wire mesh lid. The tall sides will prevent him from climbing up on his toys and chewing the rim. If it is his running in a squeaky wheel, look in your pet store for the silent alternatives. The old fashioned metal ones will eventually all squeak. Also, look into investing in glass and metal water bottles instead of plastic. This will also do away with chewing noises. Be sure the hamster has wood pieces to chew on. You can pick these up at the pet store. I give our old cardboard oatmeal boxes and such when are done with them. This keeps their teeth worn down. If you assess the situation and try to figure out a solution, then you AND your pet can both be happier.

You can't with water. However, you can buy bathing sand made for hamsters. it is their way of getting clean. They will roll around in the sand to clean themselves, it's entertaining too.

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!

'Albino Russian Dwarf hamster should be gently scrubbed with some hot water'

You should never shower a hamster in case it gets wet tali! Only 'bath' a hamster if it has something in its fur - but you use an old toothbrush and water to comb it out, but never shower it.

_____________________________________________________________

According to my exotic vet you should never bathe your hamster since they keep themselves very clean through self grooming and could actually die from getting wet. If there is a smell then clean the cage thoroughly and if there's still a smell then get it to an exotic vet in case your hamster has an infection. Mine had a small hole in her cheek from shoving too much stuff in her cheek pouch and it got infected (though it didn't smell) and I took her to my exotic vet. She needed antibiotics and she was fine once everything healed.

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!
