How do you make your dwarf hamster happy?
I'm not sure what kind of hamster you mean but they all kind of get amused the same. If you don't really want to buy some toys and fun kind of stuff you can easily make something with things around your household- for example... A toilet tube can be fun and amusing for a dwarf hamster, it can hide in it and possibly sleep in it. You can also use an egg carton as a little tunnel kind of thing. I am mainly referring to dwarf hamsters as that is what I know most about but as for Syrian hamsters, maybe it is the same but use bigger things. Hamsters like to dig and search for things, so try and hide some of their food around the cage so they have to search, that might keep them amused. Hope I helped!

They are so sweet and adorable! <3

Hamsters hiss or make a high pitched screaming noise when they are scared or highly distressed. Say for instance if you are squeezing it too tightly or are handling it too much.

Can a parrot be outside a cage?
It is fine for you to have only one parakeet in a cage, but only if you can spend alot of time around it. Just being by the cage and talking or doing something will be good for the bird. Also the bird will bond to you easier if you only have one!
If you dont have much time to spend with your bird then you may need to consider getting another so it wont be lonely
- hope that helps! :)
